Hi,
I have a cultural project to do on "the whisky trade", and i want to know what exactly i have to put in, like: the history, the fabrication..
The problem is that i don`t fine good articules on the trade, and i don't know if i have to speak about the whisky from all aover the world or juste the UK's one?

Hi Goul

In order for people to help you, can you say more about the exact brief you have been given for your project? What kind of university department / school / institute / whatever are you in? What 'cultural' aspect is expected by your tutors?

There are many many books and articles about all kinds of aspects of whisky, so help us help you by pinning down what you're after!

Cheers, Lex

Yes, i can.
So i'm an internationnal studient in Liverpool Hope University College, in Informatic Managment and communication,and the exact subject is "Whisky trade". So..........
And for 'Cultural', they want to know the impact of the whisky trade on the UK economy, on the people of UK .....

Hi Goul,

I found an interesting website concerning whisky-trade worldwide.
Look at www.scotch-whisky.org.uk

Don´t forget the touristic aspect of the whisky trade (Maybe you can get some info about the increasing number of tourists coming to Scotland just for visiting distilleries at the scotish tourist board).
