Whisky book 2017
I've never known much about whisky, or drank it much, but in 2017 I was asked to illustrate The Whisky Dictionary - a book by Iain Hector Ross, published by Sandstone Press in that year. For this A-Z of whisky I drew 26 pictures - one for each letter of the alphabet - and a cover illustration. An interesting way to learn about the subject. The book (ISBN 9781910985922) can be purchased online: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Whisky-Dictionary-Iain-Hector-Ross/dp/1910985929 (Not to be confused with a different book with the same title, published in 2019.)
