Just as the so-called one side of the water and soil to nourish one person, one side of the water and soil also brews the other side of the wine. Winemaking has always been a profound science, it will be affected by the terrain, climate, water source and other factors, so as to divide different "production areas". For example, the mainland liquor, Guizhou is rich in sauce aroma, Sichuan is rich in fragrant, which is the largest 2 liquor producing areas in China.
For foreign wine whisky, the division of "production area" is more obvious. The world's major whisky producers can be counted in five fingers: Scotland, Ireland, the United States, Canada, and Japan. And many people, only know scotland and Japan, especially Scotch whisky, are famous all over the world.
But what I want to talk to you about today is "Australian Whisky", Australian whisky. Australia's isolated location provides a pristine environment for the production of whiskies, surrounded by the South Pacific Ocean, where strong westerly winds bring clean air from the distant oceans to an unrivalled climate.
It is worth mentioning that Australia is now ready to pull up the whisky industry, and the largest Australian whisky exhibition in history has partnered with the Australian Distillers Association to tour 6 cities from April 3 to October 8, including Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and so on.
The event is very exclusive, with only the country's whiskies on display. According to david Ligoff, the show's founder, this is the first time that so many Australian whisky distilleries and distilleries have appeared at the event, not only to promote Australia's local whisky to consumers, but also to promote exchanges in the industry.
As recently as the Australian Whisky of the Year Awards were announced, Lark Distilling, a well-known distillery from Tasmania, Australia's peat region, won Whisky of the Year, Brewer/Producer of the Year and Distillery of the Year. To give you a popular science, this winery has a very long history.
Dating back to 1839 and now being rebuilt more than 30 years ago by Bill Lark, bill Lark has maintained a strong reputation and won the WWA's "Best Mixed Malt Whisky" award earlier this year for its own fine whisky Symphony Nº1.
Of course, the Australian whisky brand that has been in the limelight in recent years is not just Lark. Australian consumers are reportedly rapidly shifting to locally produced whiskies, particularly since last year, when a trend has been evident and has also attracted the attention of international spirits consumers.
Therefore, whether it is from the history of Australia's whisky industry or its local distilleries, or the consumer's recognition of "Australian Andy", it is enough to infer that Australia is actually only one of the main production areas of whisky, but in the past many years, it has been tepid and has not been able to make the popularity.
Now, "Aowei" may really be rising. Perhaps in the near future, when people talk about whisky-rich countries, they will think not only of Scotland and Japan, but also of Australia. Think about our domestic whisky, we really have to work harder!
