Tasmania Whiskey - BBC

Post by Expat »

Found this article, an interesting read. Seems to tie to the general trend noted elsewhere in news regarding the depletion of aged spirits due to their rapid increase popularity and cellaring rates 20 years ago (or lack thereof).

Give it a read: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-35378882

When I was in Iceland seemed like a big advertising point!

Interesting...Look how they made the swans necks. Instead of one piece of copper, smithed to the exact shape, it's four concentric rings, soldered together, that construct the neck. Quite clever!
