The New Map of the Whisky Distilleries in Scotland
Manuscript Maps has produced a stunning map of the Whisky distilleries of Scotland. Designer Kevin Sheehan says “I wanted to create a map that beautifully captured the essence of whisky, not just showed the geographic location of every distillery” The maps included information and imagery about the manufacture of whisky and even an extract from Burns’ poem ‘John Barleycorn’.
The map took over 120 hours of drawing, using a dip-pen with different calligraphic nibs; additionally, many hours were spent researching distilleries and locating them on the map. Thirty distilleries are profiled on the map, which were selected based on their age, uniqueness, production of consistently good whiskies and include distilleries from every region.
Whisky maps of Ireland, Japan, and/or the Tennessee/Kentucky are planned.
