I have a hunch that you can call it whiskey but not Scotch. Hopefully one of our resident experts will have a line on this All I can say is that the place in Sulby were told in no uncertain terms that they could not use the word "Whisky".http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/whisky-war-rages-over-manx-white-1276535.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember that. The only thing that stuff was good for was cleaning your paint brushes. I tried it once many many years ago and still can't get the feckin taste out of my mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's allowed finlo but the article mentioned the fact that the distilling part wasn't right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 How many MF members does it take to understand an article! It is the re-distilling after blending that was the issue at hand... "Our view is that there is a law in the UK and in the European Union that lays down what constitutes whisky, and we don't believe that redistillation after maturation is included in that definition."

Lxxx Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 So this new place anyway, anyone know much about it other than a little bit of gossip? Any hard facts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhumsaa Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I think after an initial flurry of excitement they ran into some funding issues and the founder burned himself out a little bit I guess they must have gotten over that hump and are now pressing forward I'm looking forward to seeing what they can produce - craft gin is all the rage at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOH. Get you , the expert. Maybe you should have intervened a bit sooner and saved Glen Kella a few bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
