Alfred Barnard’s Booklet on Pattison’s and the Glenfarclas Distillery – Scotch Whisky History
A rare survivor.
Alfred Barnard’s booklet on Pattison’s and the Glenfarclas Distillery.
Two copies only known.
Alfred Barnard wrote for Pattison’s and their then partners the Glenfarclas Distillery sometime around 1896. About that time Barnard wrote 6 of these promotional pamphlets for different whisky companies. This is one of the rarest. So far as we can establish (and we have done some digging) only 2 copies are known. We were able to find one in pristine condition, scan it and now plan to republish this with a new Introduction. It’s also the most substantial of any of the pamphlets (80 pages in length) and the most extravagant, not only for the claims he makes for Pattison’s (who were shortly to go spectacularly bust) but for the many fascinating illustrations.
This is an irreplaceable and very rare piece of whisky literature which would grace any library on the subject.
Limited Edition facsimile reprint in edition of 100 copies only, with new Introduction. 150gsm white silk coated paper with 350gsm white silk coated board PUR bound.
