[MM-MALTS-L] Eddu - opinions?

[john marrinan]

My point is that it's possible to make whiskey almost anywhere. A distillery
in Mongolia has just as good a chance of making good whisky as one in
Scotland, Ireland, America, Japan, Canada etc if the people and equipment
and ingredients are right. It's not like wine. I don't think there'll ever
be a good Islay wine.
