Welcome to Planet Whiskies
Planet Whiskies will try to explain everything you need to know about our favourite tipple.
This website 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.
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.
There are a few famous Scottish pubs that I went to in order to do research for this website and it would be only fair to write about these pubs and the types of whisky that they sell. With a few pubs being included on this site, I have to add a page regarding drink aware and the effects of drinking too much and it's results on the body.
If you would like to have your distillery or whisky brand mentioned on this website please email myself details and also I would be happy to add links to other whiskies website so this site can be a directory for readers of the internet to find out everything they need to know about this subject.
