Book Description
"When brothers Robert and Walter Pattison took control of their father’s business, their ambitious and audacious moves triggered the infamous “whisky crash” of 1898 — a disaster that not only marked the end of Scotch whisky’s golden era but also lit the fuse to one of the biggest scandals in its history.
Yet the Pattisons were more than just two brothers at the helm of a failed empire; they were a family — real people navigating the ebb and flow of life. By the end of the 1890s, however, the tide had well and truly turned against them.
Opening The Case: The Affairs of Pattisons’ Whisky is the culmination of four years of dedicated writing and extensive research, revealing new findings about the Pattisons during this tumultuous time in the history of Scotch whisky – some of which have never been published before."
