The bottled version I'd agree, it's great, but on draft it isn't as strong and it has an undesirable effect on my digestive system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I should have qualified that by saying the bottled version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that elbows out, straight sided glass thing that [people talk about? A huge quantity of liquid with an unpleasant taste that takes time to get use to? Why bother, there are French wines and vodkas that are much better means of getting drunk!!! Mke, do a goood potato based vodka and show the HR and the other lot how it should be done. Potato based is true Manx hills Methodist heritage. Get a Govt subsidy??? What ever happened to "Glenn Kella" in Sulby, that where brewing Manx Whisky, are they still going ?

GreyWolf Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Glen Kella went bust I seem to remember and didn’t it go down to the high court in london something about trademark issues, wasn’t that Mr Dixon that owned and run it way back then, now the carvery chef at psm pavilion though I stand to be corrected.

They weren’t actually distilling whisky, they were filtering the colour out of it and calling it Manx Whisky (it was clear, just like Vodka). Allied Breweries took them to court - God knows why - for calling it “whisky”. It afterwards coninued as Manx Spirit. Personally I think Manx Firewater would have been more appropriate.

Kella is still run by MD. They were bringing in scotch whisky and re-distilling and calling it Manx Whisky. The problem is that having done that, it failed to meet the accepted legal definition of said spirit. SWA (Scotch Whisky Assocation - think the NRA of the water of life) took them to court and won. So it became ManX Spirit. Their Bifrost Vodka is, I believe, redistilled cognac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough profit margin, it's better to import budget lager and tout it as premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
