Recenzii
This is a major, authoritative, account ... the book is based on extensive use of internal documentation ... Weir in effect provides us with a sound overall view of British spirits manufacturing and distribution ... It says much for the author's determination that he has been able to produce such a substantial work about an enterprise which has often been characterized as insular and secretive.
The comprehensive reconstruction of the development of the firm and the industry it came to dominate is based on extensive archival evidence and meticulous research, and it will quickly establish itself as a major source for all historians interested in the firm and the industries in which it operated ... Dr Weir has certainly succeeded in demonstrating the potential to be found in DCL's extensive archives, which will no doubt be drawn upon by others adopting a more thematic and analytical approach.
Quite clearly a business and industrial history of the foremost rank. And, like the finest malt whiskies, the product has improved in the time it has taken to mature.
It will quickly establish itself as a major source for all historians interested in the firm and the industries in which it operated.
The long gestation of his new book shows both in exhaustive research ... and the clarity of analysis. Weir provides shape to a complicated and sometimes miscellaneous story that often embraces the whisky industry as a whole. ... It is an invaluable reference work
