3. Scottish Whisky is the world
famous whisky and the one
that everyone wants to
drink. As the biggest
whisky-producing region in
Scotland, the Highlands
{
inevitably boasts a wide
variety of the country's
famous malts. As a guide,
whiskies produced in the
Western Highlands tend to
reveal a rounded, dry
flavour, with some
peatiness, those produced in
far north have a notably
heathery, spicy, character,
deriving both from the local
soil and the coastal location
of the distilleries, and those
originating in the more
sheltered Eastern Highlands
posses a softer, fruity palate

4. Just off Scotland's southwest
coast, the tiny island of Islay
is home to the smokiest of
all Scottish whiskies.
Instantly recognisable by
their bold, peaty nose -
{
often described as slightly
earthy - and dry, rounded
character, Islay malts are the
product not only of the
water streaming over the
rich peat which makes up
most of the island, but also
of the fresh sea air itself
permeated with a light
seaweed aroma.

5. Although a relatively small
country, the contribution
Ireland has made to the
tradition of whiskey
distilling is vast. A national
drink on both sides of the
border, ‘Irish' is one of the
{
world's most distinctive
styles. The general absence
of peat in the kilning means
that there is no smokiness to
Irish whiskeys but they are
easily identified by their
fragrant bouquet, faintly
oily palate and smooth, firm
body when whisky tasting
(which comes from the
malt)

6. Taking their inspiration and
their love of whisky from
the Scottish, the Japanese
built their first whisky
distillery back in 1923, and
still base the malts they
produce in the Scottish
{ tradition - double-distilling
in pot stills. Over the years,
they have introduced
certain innovations of their
own however, including
maturing their whiskies in
rare, slow-growing Japanese
oak and, in some cases, in
specially charred new oak.

7. Following a classic method
of production established in
1884 by Hiram Walker, most
Canadian whiskies are
blends. The usual practice is
to combine more than one
{ spicy rye whisky with a
further 15-20 flavoursome
whiskies, and balance the
blend with a high strength
neutral spirit. As a result,
the whiskies are generally
light in body, smooth and
clean tasting, but full in
flavour.
