The Myth and The Magic of Scotland Distilled in a Glass is the most comprehensive film ever made about the most complex, romantic and popular spirit in the world.
It has been said that Scotch Whisky is "the distillation of Scotland in a glass" and that "with every sip it speaks of the country of its birth". This engaging film explores the origins of whisky distillation in Scotland, discovers what goes into making Scotch and, most importantly, speaks to the people who actually make it, revealing a process that some will tell you is a "wild, weird alchemy".
Beautifully filmed against the breathtaking scenery of Scotland to a fusion of traditional and contemporary music, this documentary features a host of interviews from the barley field to the boardroom, including stillmen, historians, distillery managers and even one of the SS Politician “whisky liberators” of “Whisky Galore” fame.
