    "description": "Imagine a small town that once boasted a distillery for every few hundred of the local population. A quaint burgh at the end of a long and remote peninsula generating more duty per capita than anywhere else in the British Empire. Then consider that all but a few of the town\u2019s distilleries disappeared in less than a decade. How did Campbeltown become known as \u2018Whiskyopolis\u2019? What happened to its once mighty industry?\n\nThis book explores the phenomenon that was, and is, Campbeltown whisky from its Victorian hayday to its collapse and resurgence.\n\n\u201cDavid Stirk\u2019s revised, expanded and updated edition of his earlier \u2018Distilleries of Campbeltown\u2019 (2005) is an invaluable, thorough and wholly engaging addition to the fascinating story of the one-time \u2018Whisky Capital of the World\u2019, and his research has turned up much new information which questions the reasons for its decline. What\u2019s more it\u2019s an absorbing read \u2013 highly recommended.\u201d\nCharles MacLean, MBE\nMaster of the Quaich\n",
