Non-Scottish Whisky: Japanese, Indian, Dutch, et al?

[ForresterModern]

Wales---Penderyn
Japan---Yamazaki 12
Ireland---Clontarf, Knappogue, Midleton, Michael Collins, Redbreast

All non-scotch single malts, all very nice, tasty, quality whiskies distilled outside Scotland. They cannot be called Scotch Whisky because they do not spend their first three years aging on scottish soil, one of the few absolute requirements needed to be called scotch.

And those are just the ones I have been blessed to have in my collection. I have also tried some Jameson, Powers, Tyrconnell and I believe Bushmills single malts when I visited Ireland a few years ago. There are a whole lot more out there, waiting to find their way to my tastebuds. It is one of the things that gets me out of bed every morning.

I wasn't that impressed by Penderyn, but the Connemara whiskey from Cooley is great! Ireland's only peated single malt.

Except for Clonmel & Cadenhead.

And yes, Connemara rocks!!

Whoops, you're right! Looks like I have some more tasting to do!

Here in Virginia, the Copper Fox Distillery makes Wasmunds Single Malt Whisky. I've been offering it at the Scottish Games Festivals that I am convene my clan's tents. Rather tasty, I say. Barbara here and a few others agree!
