Add Whisky Monkeys as a Google favoriteBook lovers with a nose for whisky and a taste for adventure, take note. Hans Offringa and his wife, Becky Lovett Offringa, are once again casting a global spotlight on Scotland with their latest book, The Most Beautiful Whisky Routes through Scotland.
With more than 35 years in the whisky world and hundreds of trips to Scotland under their belts, Hans and Becky Offringa have written a new book about Scotland and its national spirit that stands apart from the rest. It blends whisky, travel, and the finest Scottish stories. Sounds like the perfect holiday read, doesn’t it?
Scottish whisky regions take center stage
In The Most Beautiful Whisky Routes through Scotland, Hans and Becky guide readers along the most breathtaking routes through famous whisky regions like Speyside and Islay, as well as lesser-known corners of the country. The book offers a carefully curated selection of driving routes where nature, culture, and whisky come together.
The routes are drawn from more than 30 years of traveling across Scotland. Along the way, the book shines a light not only on distilleries, but also on Scottish landscapes, the local stories of whisky makers, and the distinct character that defines each region. You’ll find eight different road trips and even two sailing itineraries, giving you multiple ways to explore.
The timing of the release couldn’t be better. Scotland attracts millions of visitors each year who come specifically for whisky experiences and distillery tours. With the weather turning fairer, it’s an ideal destination for enthusiasts.
Beyond the routes, the book includes tasting notes for a wide range of whiskies, stunning photography, and the history of the Scottish places you’ll visit. With this book in hand, you won’t need another travel guide.
Where to find the new whisky book
The new book has yet to com out, but when it does it will be available at most book stores and online. The exact pricing of the work is not yet revealed.

- Hi Yvonne, Thank you for your response and for sharing the video. Unfortunately, the evidence you referred to consists only of two people talking about the whisky, without any explanation or identification. We have not spoken to the individuals in the video ourselves, nor can we verify who they are. We describe it as a Chinese whisky because it is released by a Chinese distillery. As you mentioned, the distillery has chosen to label the product as “pure malt” instead of “Chinese whisky.” Based on that, we do not believe they are doing anything illegal.M0nkey16-11-2025
