Did You Know There’s a Documentary Called The Water of Life: A Whisky Film?

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for a new Did You Know? This time, we’re talking about a Scottish whisky documentary. Did you know that The Water Of Life: A Whisky Film exists?

The documentary focuses on “the artisans, chemists and renegades at the heart of the whisky revolution that transformed the stagnant whisky industry of the 1980s into the titan it is today,” according to the official website.

The documentary features prominent figures including Jim McEwan and Mark Reynier, who share personal stories about taking all kinds of risks in business. After all, how did Bruichladdich Distillery make its mark?

If you’re curious to find out, The Water Of Life: A Whisky Film is well worth a watch.

But there’s much more in store. You’ll visit Bowmore’s malting floors and hear about the origins of single malt whisky, independent bottlers and the rise of a host of new Scottish distilleries in recent years.

At the moment, there’s only one way to see it: order the film through Amazon. The Blu-ray costs around 50 euros. Another option is to order directly from the official website. We don’t know how much extra you might have to pay in shipping and import fees, though.

Viewers could be in luck though. If you have a Prime Video account, you might be able to watch the documentary for just a few dollars.
