Waters of life. Distilled spirits of all kinds have borne that
name, in various tongues, since time immemorial. Aqua vita. Eau de
vie. Uisge Beatha. Tom Morton has travelled the world in search of
the finest drams the planet has to offer. His journeys reveal the
links between faith and alcohol, between spirits and the spiritual.
From Christianity's Holy Communion to the temple libations of
Japan, through the rum concoctions of Haitian Voodoo to the
monastic producers of every liquid from beer to "tonic" wine. And
of course Tom's beloved whisky, brewed in many corners of the
world. Holy Waters is Tom's journey to the spiritual heart of
whisky, sake, rum, Champagne, beer, mead and a variety of wines.
With great insight, humour and for the most part sobriety, he
traces the links between brewing, winemaking, distilling and
worship, from ancient pagan rites to the most modern Trappist
technology. He revels in the lore and mysteries of craft
production, the elemental, magical love stories, the passionate
relationships between human and landscape, grain and pure water,
grape and fire. And he does so on a motorcycle which, to his
astonishment, runs very well on cask-strength Islay single malt.
This book is a celebration of cultures and artisan craft, a book
for food and drink, travel and history lovers.
