apologies if this has been mentioned already - havnae time tae read thro' it all!
Was half- watching Rick Stein the other day because he was in Australia - in fact, Tasmania, and one of the places he visited was - a small whisky distillery!! Think it jas been going about 15 years? they grow their own barley on the (large) island -- and their single malt has recently been awarded - best in the world? unless I misheard it -- not sure who was judging it and as it doesn't have a large output we may never get a chance to taste it here- -
I am not sure if I approve of whisky produced outwith Scotland getting to call itself malt or single malt?!
