The introduction on the sleeve jacket reads as follows:
| 'Scotch, please' - very few who use that now common-place phrase ever pause to reflect on the complications and width of history that lie behind it. For Scotch did not become a symbol of a nation's economic prosperity by chance. |
| Ross Wilson, with the thoroughness of a historian, has delved far back to discover a start to the story. In doing so he has produced not a background to a modern an spectacular commercial enterprise alone bt a slice of the past as well that will take its own place among the literature of folk-lore in this and many other lands. |
| Uisge beatha - the whisky of the North - is something that belongs entirely to its own land for no amount of skill will accomplish its making in any other. But its lineage is a long one and its ancestors lie in many countries. To read of it is to make a trip along a winding road with countless and fascinating byways. |
The contents of this book consist of a foreword, 23 untitled chapters, an epilogue and an index. There are no illustrations.
