In the modern day, scotch whisky is, without doubt, Scotland’s most important export. In the 200 years since the implementation of the 1823 Excise Act, the whisky industry has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. It seems strange to think, then, that there was a time in history when the art of distilling and whisky-making was somewhat alien even to the population of Great Britain.

After the fall of Rome, but before the 14th century, the Rhône Valley is a bit of a mystery wine-wise.

There’s no doubt that wine was being made, as the Romans had picked up a thing or two about winemaking from the Gauls , but there are two significant moments we can find during the late Middle Ages that have an impact
