We're back after spending eight days in Australia and a week in
bed fighting the "Roo Flu" virus, and there's a lot to talk
about! One of the biggest problems facing Australian whisky
distillers has been their relative lack of ability to scale up
production to meet demand, but that's gradually beginning to

triple production with room for future expansion. In Sydney,
Archie Rose Distilling has outgrown its original site after five

distillery in Port Bombay that will take production from 120,000
liters per year to three million liters. We'll tour both
distilleries on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Pernod Ricard's
expansion spree continues with a $223 million deal for
Jefferson's Bourbon owner Castle Brands - and a new $140 million
malt whisky distillery in China! Trade issues are starting to
show a serious impact on the whisky business worldwide, and a
Virginia distillery has settled a lawsuit filed by the Scotch
Whisky Association over its use of the word "Highland." On Behind
