    Storyline

    Edit
    Made by a small international team (Taiwan production company, American director, Indian cinematographer, and completely shot on location in Scotland), Scotch - A Golden Dream tells the story of Uisge beatha -- Gaelic for "water of life." Scotch is enjoyed in more than 200 countries, generating over $6 billion in exports each year. For more than a century, Scotch whisky has been the premier international spirit of choice. It is time to tell the story of "uisge" to the world. While capturing stunning Scottish landscapes, the real heart of our film is the characters - the fascinating people who make Scotch whisky. We explore some of the biggest names in the industry, including Richard Paterson, a master blender whose nose was insured for $2.5 million, Glasstorm, a company specializing in hand-made bottles for rare whiskies that sell for over $10,000 each, and Jim McEwan, the distiller and master blender, a 52-year industry veteran, who acts as our ambassador, guiding us to discover the process and the people, who they are, their personal histories, how they came to immerse themselves in the art and science of making whisky, their drive for perfection, and their dreams. —Andrew Peat

    Scotch : A Golden Dram
    What better place to see this film but in the capital of the Highlands - Inverness.

    It's a very well structured film both informative and entertaining. It is a good balance between the processes that bring whisky together, along with the people and the landscape.

    It is beautifully filmed and holds the viewer's interest, despite being one of the longer documentary type films I've seen on the subject, approx. 90 minutes.

    My enjoyment was further enhanced by a Q&A with the director, Andrew Peat, following the screening.

    A very interesting, informative and enjoyable movie about Scotland and Scotch whisky.
