Non-Celtic Whiskey

When you think malt whisky, you may think Scotland, you may think Ireland, you may even think Wales, Brittany or Cornwall. But almost surely you will think Celtic. Still, malt whisky is distilled on every continent bar Antarctica nowadays. Some of these malt whiskies are interesting because of their production methods, some have just come on the market and show a lot of promise, and some are simply as good as the best Celtic malts. Dismissing malt whiskies from non-traditional whisky countries is something you do at your own loss ….

This new series on the booze hound will travel around the globe in search of these ‘other’ malt whiskies. Every month we will introduce a distillery and its malt whisky (or whiskies, as many have different expressions). We will keep going around the world, year after year, until we’ve covered every non-Celtic malt distillery (tough job, but,I'll Drink to That!). So fasten your seatbelts, keep an open mind and enjoy the ride on The Booze Hound!
