Book excerpt: "You'll meet the Chivas brothers, James and John, an ambitious pair of upscale Aberdeen grocers who never owned or operated a distillery, but elevated the process of blending whiskies to a fine and very profitable art. The father-and-son team of George and John Gordon Smith, on the other hand, were hardy Highlands farmers from the Glenlivet district of Banffshire whose sideline malt whisky business became too lucrative to remain a part-time pursuit." "For all of their differences, the Smiths and the Chivas brothers shared a common dedication to quality, authenticity, and customer service. These two families - along with their flagship brands - transformed their local craft by creating first a nationwide, then a worldwide market for their products."--Jacket.
