[MM-MALTS-L] Teaspooned IB Single Casks from named distilleries

[Harry Pulley]

If there is demand for your malt as a single cask and you choose to teaspoon
blending stocks to prevent this instead of releasing more single casks on
your own to satisfy customer demand before your competitors do so then it is
very poor business practice, IMO.  I was going to say, "who cares about
single casked malt xxx anyways" but I was afraid I'd offend someone, so I
won't say it ;-)

Premium bottlers wished they didn't have to teaspoon.  Not only is Canadian
whisky allowed to contain 9.09% non-whisky, you can't simply ship whisky
here and bottle it, it is somehow against the law.  Wine doesn't have this
problem however and with recent wine stocks too low to blend Ontario wines
we have had "cellared in Ontario" wines recently which are just from Chile
and Argentina with 0% content from Ontario or Canada.  Unfortunately, the
alcohol rules highly favor local wines and beers here as good whisky becomes
more and more difficult to obtain.
