Whisky<br />

”Drink whisky with water, without water or like water.”<br />

– Scottish proverb<br />

Scotl<strong>and</strong> is one of the biggest producers of whisky in the world, <strong>and</strong><br />

has been for at least 100 years. But while Scotl<strong>and</strong> is synonymous<br />

with whisky, it isn’t the only country to produce it. Others, such as the<br />

USA, Irel<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Japan, also have long, proud traditions of whiskymaking.<br />

And the last decade has seen the return of whisky distilling<br />

to for the first time in a century, while new distilleries have also been<br />

built in South Africa, <strong>and</strong> Sweden, Finl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Estonia among others.<br />

There are two main types of Scotch whisky: single malt <strong>and</strong> blended.<br />

Single malt has grown in popularity over the last decade, now<br />

accounting for 10% of global sales of Scotch by volume. But most<br />

Scotch whisky sold worldwide is blended. Made from a mixture of<br />

several different malt <strong>and</strong> grain whiskies, the biggest br<strong>and</strong>s of<br />

blended Scotch, such as Johnnie Walker, Chivas, Grants <strong>and</strong> Dewars,<br />

are household names across the globe.<br />

Finnish whisky was first produced in 1981 at the Koskenkorva alcohol<br />

distillery in Ilmajoki, Finl<strong>and</strong>. There are currently 4 operational whisky<br />

distilleries in Finl<strong>and</strong>. Teerenpeli Distillery is the largest <strong>and</strong> one of<br />

the oldest distilleries in Finl<strong>and</strong> with the maximum capacity of 160<br />

000 litres per year. Teerenpeli Distillery has been producing Finnish<br />

single malt whiskies <strong>and</strong> other spirits since 2002. Teerenpeli single<br />

malt whiskies are made with the finest malted barley <strong>and</strong> the purest<br />

ground water. They are distilled with traditional copper pot stills from<br />

Scotl<strong>and</strong>.
