Er, unless my topography has gone to pot I don’t think Tasie has the southernmost – there’s a distillery down around Dunedin in New Zealand which produces a drinkable malt…

D’oh !

I’m afraid I must cede to my most learned friend on this one. Despite my best effiorts to locate a Falkland Islands distillery !! The Dunedin distillery (“Wilson’s” – apparently New Zealand’s only distillery !) even spells their product without an ‘E’ !

Bah !

Welcome, R! Does the Australian connection explain why you chose a pic of Sir Les Patterson as your avatar? 😉

Ah yes, as a new poster I can see the confusion. Actually I’m a friend of Malcy’s – Bob (one or two of you may have met me at the last couple of Thack-fests ?) ! The ‘R’ in my id, of course, stands for ‘Robert’ (my Sunday-best name !).

I can also see the similarity in my avatar pic (D’oh !), which is actually one taken of ME when I was ‘very, very drunk’ (“Ah yes !”, I can hear you say, “THAT Bob !”) ) at a birthday party in Utrecht. I have lost a couple of stone since then (honest !).

TTFN play-mates,

Then that would be whiskEy with an E, as only Scotch is Whisky…

Actually, I direct my learned friend to:
http://store.tasdistillery.com.au/default.cfm?page=catalog&cat=824&
Where you will clearly see that they sell “Sullivans Cove Single Malt WhisKY” without an ‘e’ !

Seems nobody’s told them !

Oh, and if you click the link to the 375ml bottle, you’ll see a picture of the very type of bottle (the black one) that Malcy (amongst others !) helped me to drink !

Surely the most southerly whisky distillery is Hobart, Tasmania ?

I used to have a half-bottle of their 4-year-old malt (they’d only been in existence for 5 years at the time !), and very nice it was too ! They’ve probably got an 8 (or even 10 !) year-old by now ?
