Whisky<br />

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

– Scottish proverb<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are two main types of Scotch whisky: single malt and 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 and grain whiskies, the biggest brands of<br />

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

are household names across the globe.<br />

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

distillery in Ilmajoki, Finland. There are currently four operational<br />

whisky distilleries in Finland. Teerenpeli Distillery is the largest and<br />

one of the oldest distilleries in Finland with the maximum capacity<br />

of 160 000 litres per year. Teerenpeli Distillery has been producing<br />

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

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

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

stills from Scotland.
