Website to PW - Supporting Homecoming Scotland
This unquie website will try to explain everything you need to know about our favourite tipple. I will explain about the different kinds of whisky from the main whisky countries of the world and the types of whisky that are available. Starting from famous world distilleries where the whisky is made to Scottish Single Malts and the type of blend they are, for example smoky, light, delicate and rich.
On this site now I am putting together a full list of worldwide whiskies where you can buy your favourite dram. All the Scottish Blended whiskies have been completed and you will find them on Scottish Blended Whisky pages. There are well over 100 blends on these pages and you are sure to find the Scottish Blend that you are looking for. I have just started to price the Scottish Single Malts and I hope these malts will be done over the next few weeks (this update was 09/06/2009). With over 1200 malts going to be priced and listed on this site you can imagine the task involved, but one worth doing for the readers of this site and one that will bring much more interaction about each of the whiskies than a lot of other whisky site who just put a price on the bottle with a link to buy. You can also see now a large number of Scottish Grain Whiskies and I have been receiving so many email world-wide saying that they did not know there was so many to choose from. There are around 100 American Bourbons, American Corn Whiskies and American Tennessee Whiskies to view and buy if you wish. I also plan in the near future to include a section where you can buy all your whisky glassware. This section will be appearing over the next few weeks so please remember to visit back soon to see what has been updated.
Blended and Grain whiskies will be written about in detail. As I am Scottish myself I know a lot of the brands in Scotland, but this website is about all the different types of whisky that are available around the world and I will be writing about whiskies that are Irish, Welsh, Australian, American, Canadian and of course Japanese which is up and coming and gaining large recognition within the industry. As there are a few spellings of whisky around the world, there will only be one that I will use on this website. So whiskey the local name for this product in some countries will not be used even when I am describing their products. A few countries do spell whisky the Scottish way such as Japanese, Canadian and Indian, with the last two because of being involved with the British Empire. Japanese whisky is spelt the Scottish way because the first person to distil whisky learned the trade in Scotland.
It is important to mentions that on this website I will be writing about all the distilleries in the world. But large parts of this website will be about the Scottish Whisky industry and the famous distilleries that are present like The Glenrothes Distillery, Glengoyne Distillery, Isle of Jura distilleries, Highland Park Distillery on Orkney, Glenmorangie Distillery and of course the Ardbeg Distillery. All these distillery can be read about in the Latest New Section on this website where you will find out about all the latest new in the whisky industry, but more Scottish Whisky Distillery can be read about on the Scottish Whisky Distilleries pages on this site. Some of the distillery do not have a great deal of information relating to them as they have been closed or dismantled over the years, but this website still write about their history when ever possible and this can bring the reader even more knowledge of the Scottish Whisky industry. Distilleries like the Fettercairn Scotch Whisky Distillery can be found on the Scottish Distillery page beginning with the letter F and if you are looking to find out more information about Dalwhinnie Whisky Distillery this can be found on the Scottish Distillery page with the letter D. So please browse through these pages and there are plenty of interesting facts and contact details for over 100 whisky distilleries in Scotland.
If you would like to have your distillery or whisky brand mentioned on this website please email myself details and I would be happy to add links to other whiskies website so this site can be a directory for readers of the internet regarding whisky. Please remember this is a free service and can only be good for both parties as it gives your whisky brand more access to the Internet and help Planet Whiskies to become a truly international whisky site.
Planet Whiskies was supporting Homecoming Scotland whisky month - May 2009. It was such as important event for the whisky industry this year and the whole month was an outstanding success with lots of events and celebrations for Scotland's most famous drink. The amount of effort that has gone into 2009 to make Homecoming Scotland a success is a credit to the people behind it. Everything to do with Homecoming Scotland can only be good for the people of Scotland and this also brings the millions of Scottish people living abroad a greater knowledge of their distance homeland. It also brings in millions of pounds to the Scottish economy and of course help the whisky industry grow in size with the amount of advertising that come with Homecoming Scotland advertising campaign. So full marks have to be given to the Scottish Government and VisitScotland for all the work that has been done behind the scene to organise this action packed year. There is a full page on this site detailing the events that took place throughout the month of May.
