Smith Gavin D. - Goodness Nose: the Passionate Revelations of a Scotch Whisky Master Blender

O ver the last four years many people have given Gavin and I their invaluable help towards the preparation of this book. Every effort has been made to acknowledge them but if we have inadvertently missed someone out on the list that follows, we sincerely hope we will be forgiven for this unintentional oversight. I am particularly grateful to my good friend Raymond Davidson of Glencairn Crystal who was largely instrumental in encouraging me to take on this mammoth project in the first case. Without his support we may never even have got started! We are also indebted to Jim Drysdale for his wonderful illustrations at the beginning of each chapter. To everybody concerned, our most grateful thanks.
