Other World Whiskies (Emerging Regions)
Whisky is now truly global, with remarkable producers emerging from countries like:
France – Fruity and wine-cask influenced; some use cognac stills.
Germany – Clean and herbal, with alpine notes and craft precision.
Australia – Often bold and spicy, with hot climate aging and big sherry cask use (e.g., Starward, Sullivans Cove).
South Africa – Malty and bright, often with unique grain usage and rapid aging.
Sweden – Focused on sustainability and local peat; often crisp and modern.
USA (Craft) – Outside of bourbon, American single malts and rye from distilleries like Westland or Stranahan’s show innovation and regional character.
These emerging whiskies often explore local grain, water, wood, and microclimates, offering new interpretations of the whisky tradition with exciting diversity and bold experimentation.
