It would surprise most people to learn that the biggest whisky drinking market in the world by volume is India, but it is even more surprising that the majority of the locally produced whisky is made with molasses. The Amrut distillery changed all of this, pioneering Indian Single Malt Whisky in 2004, embracing the intense climate of Bangalore to create a whisky that developed and matured in a completely different way than the more traditional Single Malt producing countries.

We hope you'll join us this Saturday on World Whisky Day and try a dram of this iconic Indian distillery and their unique Single Malt.

World Whisky Day takes place this Saturday, so we're celebrating this week with a look at whiskies from around the world, and what better place to start than here at home. Known by a few names, the Wilson's Distillery (aka Willowbank, Lammerlaw) first sold their blended whisky (the Wilson's pictured here) in the early 1970's to compete with imported Scotch whiskies. The distillery eventually released their first single malt in the 1980's under the Lammerlaw name.

The 80's and 90's were a difficult time for the distillery, and in 1997 its doors were permanently, with the remaining stocks sold under a number of different brands, such as Milford, Meenan's Lammerlaw and The New Zealand Whisky Collection.

Cheers to the Wilson's distillery in Dunedin, it may be lost to time but it's contribution to the whisky story of New Zealand is not forgotten.
