The sensible people at the Wigtown Book Festival have included a few whisky related events in the line up;

Ian Buxton:
101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die
Saturday 25 September 2010
18:00 pm
McNeillie Tent
£8.00 

Ian Buxton’s book is a whisky guide with a difference: it’s not an awards list. It does not detail the 101 “best” whiskies in the world. In this talk and tasting, expert Buxton avoids the deliberately obscure, ridiculously limited and absurdly expensive to recommend an eclectic selection of old favourites, stellar newcomers and mystifyingly unknown drams that simply demand to be drunk. To accompany them, we will serve a selection of nibbles from Galloway’s best food producers.
