Found this at Aldi last weekend, presumably overstock from the UK as Fathers day isn't for a while yet in OZ.

Some whiskeys might get a bit of a change soon?
"Whisky makers are turning their backs on peat
"
article had a Tassie one I would like to try as soon as Dry July is over
"Whisky is made all over the world, and it's not just in Scotland that peat is considered a vital component.
Belgrove, named after owner Peter Bignell's family farm, is a small distillery on the north east coast of Tasmania.
The distillery, converted from an old cobbled stable in 2010, is a little noisier than most distilleries.
"Because of the chip oil burner," says Mr Bignell. "I love being creative. It's what drives my experimentation in the distillery."
Belgrove uses biofuel made from waste chip shop cooking oil. They grow their own grain and, at the end of the process, the spent mash is fed to the sheep.
"
My Next door Neighbour has it. Belgrove Distillery 100% Rye Whisky (500ml) | Nicks Wine Merchants
or Belgrove Distillery Oat Whisky (500ml) | Nicks Wine Merchants
Has anyone tried "Belgrove Distillery" ?? Pricey drop!
Not really pricey for Aussie whiskey [emoji1634]….I assume they are a small operation.Quote:

My fav for the session…
Close to a few AULROvers. Perhaps too close, for some. [bighmmm]

Wish there was a way to block threads... For a bloke 3 months sober this one is torture. Always loved a single malt whisky with the correct spelling....
Doesn't the use of an 'E' depend on 'Country of Origin'?
Ireland and USoA distillers use the 'E', whereas Scotland and Canada forego the 'E'.
Indeed. Lots more Irish than Scots moved to the States back in the day. The Japanese, who make some of the finest whiskies in the world, also forgo the "e".Quote:

All this, of course, is a can of worms of gargantuan proportions, and i'm ducking as I type.
Whatever it is the Yanks make, it ain't whisky. [bigwhistle]
