	I'll tell you what Julie, you start getting into the single malts, and it is a whole complete new ball game, which far surpasses the wine tastings of the plebs ....

	By the way, single malts are also made in Canada and the US. After a lengthy legal battle, they are allowed to be called single malts - at least in Canada. The term "rye" used to be reserved for whiskey made only from rye grain, but usually refers today to a blend of rye and other grains and even corn. From memory, there is a small whiskey distillery in Alberta that still makes 100 % rye. Buck for buck, I don't think you can beat this rye blend if that is the style you like. Two observations: One, it is all a matter of taste which whiskey you like or don't like. Two, after about the fifth or sixth glass I can't tell the difference anyway. Special note to the mods: all this whiskey discussion is clearly related to the original topic. The technical term for the low to mid alcohol liquid produced by the primary fermentation of the grain, before being distilled, is "brewer's beer". So there. ____________

Good on you, if you can do that! A person could wish I spose but in 5-6 days time I'll be filling 6 dozen 750ml bottles with the finished product then in about 9 months time I'll let you know how good they turned out. ;) Cheers. ____________

	Well, I wouldn't have thought that you could call whisky "brewed" as such, but VAT 69 in the UK usually refers to a brand of Scotch.
