Opening The Case: The Affairs of Pattisons' Whisky; Justine Hazlehurst

Uncover the True Story Behind the Infamous Whisky Crash of 1898 — A Must-Read for Every Whisky Enthusiast

Opening The Case: The Affairs of Pattisons’ Whisky is a gripping deep dive into one of the most dramatic and consequential events in Scotch whisky history. When brothers Robert and Walter Pattison took over their father’s thriving whisky business, their bold — and often reckless — decisions led to the catastrophic Whisky Crash of 1898. This financial collapse not only ended the golden age of Scotch whisky but also sparked one of the industry's most notorious scandals.

Author and publisher Justine Hazlehurst presents an eye-opening account of the rise and fall of the Pattison brothers. Far more than a tale of corporate failure, this book captures the personal struggles of a real family caught in the whirlwind of ambition, misfortune, and public disgrace. Backed by four years of in-depth research and never-before-published material, this compelling narrative sheds new light on a long-buried episode that forever altered the whisky landscape.
