Spiorad Publishing to release The Art In Whisky book
Spiorad Publishing will release the “ultimate” whisky connoisseur’s coffee table book, The Art In Whisky, in early December with two limited editions.
This unique photographic interpretation celebrates and illuminates one of the world’s most iconic spirits, as seen through the eyes of internationally acclaimed and award-winning photographer Jon Purcell.
From the grain to the bottle, and all points in between, you are taken on an odyssey from whisky’s Celtic spiritual home, across seas and continents to investigate production, look behind the scenes and meet the characters involved in crafting of this most enigmatic of spirits.
The strictly limited, lavish, hand numbered volumes feature stunning spreads, each an individual work of art, “harmoniously balancing timeless photography with contemporary design and bespoke typography”.
Each copy has been litho printed on the highest quality vellum uncoated paper, featuring a suite of luxurious finishes. The unique binding technique allows every page to lay completely flat, unencumbered by a gutter, no matter where the book is opened, making for a “truly cinematic viewing experience”.
The Copper Edition is limited to just 250 hand-numbered copies, with the 256 page, 350mm x 350mm x 65mm volume hand-bound in the finest leather and burnished copper, with debossed details.
“Presented in a bespoke, handcrafted, calfskin leather clamshell case with suede interior, the sum is a visual and tactile feast”.
In his hand-penned foreword, internationally renowned Master Distiller, Richard Paterson concludes: “this book should be part of every art lover and whisky connoisseur’s collection.”
To cater for demand the publishers have also released The Black Edition in tandem. Limited to 1,000 hand numbered copies, this volume is hand-bound in luxurious black leather and is presented in a matching felt lined slipcase.
Both versions will be available to buy from 4 December from spioradpublishing.com.
RRP: Copper Edition £1250, Black Edition £450
