Distilling world class whisky outside Scotland was once considered difficult at best and even impossible by some! Luckily for fans of a tasty dram, this has been proven wrong time and time again. Distillers in Japan have been producing fantastic single malts since the early 1900s while the USA and Ireland have their own tradition stretching back two centuries or more.

In this tasting, Tom Olive presents a whistle-stop tour of the new world of whisky presenting five different drams and discussing the production and history of each. Whiskies to be tasted are Michter's US 1. Bourbon (USA), Mackmyra Intelligens (Sweden), Mars Maltage Cosmo (Japan), Kavalan Single Malt (Taiwan) and Redbreast Lustau Edition (Ireland). All whiskies will be supplied in unbranded 20cl sample bottles.
