Putting "other" before grain would have made all the difference. 8 -) BTW, "malt whisky" is a tautology, as all grains need to be malted (i.e. germinated) before fermenting, or there is no free sugar to ferment. This applies whether the final output is a beer or spirit. I suppose it differentiates between the usual and some form of artificially produced spirit but I don't know of any examples of the latter. > > Dan Matyola > http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola > > On Fri, May 4, 2018 at 7:06 PM, mike wilson <m.9.wil...@ntlworld.com> wrote: > > > > > > On 04 May 2018 at 18:28 "Daniel J.
