World whiskies

When we think of whisky/whiskey we think of Scotland, the USA and possibly Japan but
whisky has and is being made all over the world. In this article I am going to show you
two bottles from each of seven countries.

We start with two New Zealand whiskies that I got
the photos of after I had already completed the cover
and inside cover article. The 1993 Limited Edition
Single Malt is a 100ml flask bottled by The New
Zealand Malt Whisky Company Limited from
Oamaru. This has to be Wilson’s malt as it was the
only NZ malt being distilled in 1993. Preston’s Single
Wood is a blended whisky which was also bottled by
The New Zealand Malt Whisky Company Limited. It
was distilled at Willowbank distillery, Dunedin, in
1997 and bottled in 2007.

Next we cross ‘the ditch’ to Australia. Corio is
probably the best known Australian whisky.
This is a 5 year old, 50ml bottle. It sold for
US$29.00. Hellyers Road is a 50ml
Tasmanian single malt whisky. The box says
that it is slightly peated. US$12.95 bought it.

Keeping travelling north in the pacific we come to
Taiwan. I showed you a Taiwanese single malt,
Ka Va Lan, on the inside cover. Here we have a
blended malt and an unknown quality mini. The
blended malt is a 50ml Dam-Ba, which sold for
US$13 and the unknown is an 80ml bottle, Jade
Supremacy Classic, which sold for US$16.

Starting the next page we have two Canadians.
UDL (United Distillers Limited) is a name we
usually associate with Scotch but this is a true
Canadian Whisky. We know that this bottle was sold in Maryland, USA but we do not
