A Manifesto for Danish Whisky
13 Danish distillers have laid the groundwork for what they hope will eventually be geographical indicator status for Danish whisky. They started with a manifesto defining Danish whisky — including a requirement that Danish grains be used and mandatory disclosure if imported grain is used. We’ll talk with one of the Manifesto’s architects, Mosgaard Distillery master distiller Kim Moller-Elshøj, on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Diageo has revised its earnings estimates following a flat first quarter, while an Ardbeg legend is taking on a new challenge on Islay. Finally, we’re looking for your help as we get ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of WhiskyCast next week!
