Scotland: Whisky & Distilleries
Some functions like the list of distilleries or production areas or the possibility to close the publicity areas do not work as Javascript is disabled.
The first half of the XIXth century will see the birth of a lot of distilleries. The invention of the "Coffey
Still" (or Patent Still) will make blends possible, which will
have a great influence on the export of whisky.
The second half of XIXth century was marked by the greatest ecological disaster which ever affected the French vineyards:
the phylloxera. The effect of this disaster was a lack of Cognac. So a lot of
people began drinking whisky instead. The effect was the creation of lots of distilleries in Scotland.

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse
of alcohol beverages can damage the health.
Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child.
Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
