From: Gabe Menezes For the record there was no such thing as "German Whisky" in German East Africa no, not even in the Mother land. I have pointed out the relevant information. Now can someone produce a bottle of "German whisky" from the time 1860 to 1920. ================================== Gabe, I assumed that the German whisky challenge would die after I provided the reference in the Pall Mall Gazette and I am surprised that I am being asked to produce a bottle - why not ask me to produce the Goan shop selling the stuff!
If the Pall Mall Gazette reference does not suffice, go to http://books.google.com/ and search for German + Whisky + Tanganyika. Check the first two results displayed. Both are within your timeframe The first one refers to 15000 bottles of whisky being produced by the Germans in Tanganyika. The second cites "one case of local German whisky - very raw and strong stuff" [evidently the stuff was 92% proof] ... If that does not satisfy you, repeat the search at http://scholar.google.co.uk/ Eddie Fernandes
