But by creating the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, he gave whisky drinkers access to the finest distilled liquor on the planet - and what's more, he had a great time doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is a collection of stories about Pip and his friends and how they brought Scotland's finest product to a waiting world. It begins in a small farm in Aberdeenshire and moves through high places (The World Trade Centre) and low (a jungle dive in the South Seas), with the help of the famous and the obscure, the good, the bad and the mildly delinquent. There are high mountains and wild seas, and a trip (with whisky) to Communist eastern Europe in a vintage Lagonda.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43925355561219,"sku":"9781780276281","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781780276281_290fba63-454d-4d39-b9e1-997e97d13e31.jpg?v=1731414288","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com\/products\/9781780276281","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
