World Whisky Day is fast approaching on Saturday the 19th May 2018.
As part of the build up I’m featuring a series of blogs – both old and new – over the next month focusing on a country from each letter of the alphabet – if possible – that makes whisky.
Today is R for Russian Whisky.
It was illegal to produce whisky in Russia up to 2015.
A growing demand for imported whisky may have been a factor in changing the law.
Imported whisky like this Scotch specifically branded for the Russian market.
The proposed home made stuff looks a bit more meaty.
Although we will have to wait a little longer for the Stoli Whisky to mature fully before it’s impending release.
Check out the Moscow Times here.
