{"title":"Information materials","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith a whisky map or print you can see at a glance where whisky comes from and in which casks it matures. In this collection you will find three whisky maps of Scotland, showing from over 100 to more than 150 distilleries, and a print by 33 Books with an overview of whisky casks from small to large. They are informative as a reference during a tasting, useful when planning a trip and attractive on the wall of your whisky corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scottish Whisky Distilleries Map is a fold-out road map at a scale of 1:625,000 with more than 150 distilleries and an enlarged inset of Speyside. The Malt Whisky Map of Scotland shows more than 140 distilleries by production region with details on the reverse, and the Whisky Map of Scotland combines over 100 distilleries and attractions with an explanation of how whisky is made. The 33 Books cask print is produced on a printing press from 1909 and comes without a frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich whisky map of Scotland suits you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are travelling, choose the Scottish Whisky Distilleries Map: a fold-out road map with more than 150 distilleries and an inset of Speyside. If you mainly want to understand how the regions fit together, the Malt Whisky Map of Scotland with details per distillery on the reverse is handy. The Whisky Map of Scotland is compact and also explains how whisky is made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the whisky regions of Scotland?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scotch Whisky Regulations protect five regions: Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Campbeltown and Islay. Islands such as Skye, Orkney and Mull are also often grouped as the Islands, although officially they fall under Highland. Speyside has the most distilleries, which is why the Scottish Whisky Distilleries Map has a separate enlarged inset of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat types of whisky cask are there?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhisky casks differ mainly in size and in what they held before. Common sizes are the quarter cask (about 125 litres), the barrel (about 200 litres, often ex-bourbon), the hogshead (about 250 litres) and the butt or puncheon (about 500 litres, often ex-sherry). The smaller the cask, the more contact with the wood and the faster maturation proceeds. The 33 Books print sets the casks out clearly side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do you use a whisky map at a tasting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLay the map on the table and find the distillery for each whisky. You immediately see whether a whisky comes from the coast or inland, and you can make connections, such as between the peaty whiskies of Islay and the island's position by the sea. It makes a tasting livelier and gives your guests something to talk about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you hang a whisky map or cask print on the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the maps and the print also make attractive wall decor for your whisky corner, bar or study. The 33 Books cask print (22.9 x 35.6 cm) comes without a frame, so you can choose a suitable one yourself. The maps are folded; if you want to hang one, lay it flat under some weight for a few days or choose a frame with a mount.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"prent-met-overzicht-van-whiskyvaten-33-books-usa","title":"Print with overview of whisky casks (frame not included) - 33 Books USA","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis print from 33 Books shows the different types of whisky cask in a single overview, from small to large.
