To conclude the article we show some Scotch whiskies made for the South
American market. King Edward I went to Brazil, Derby to Chile, Sir Edward’s to
Argentina and St. John to Uruguay.

Nothing to do with
South America but a
couple of bits of
information that may
be of interest.
Southern Comfort
seem to be coming
to the party under
their new owners,
Sazerac, as I have
seen three new mini
variations in the past
couple of years. I
was talking to Dave
Allen (by e-mail)
about the number of
Scottish Gins seen
in New Zealand. He feels the gin boom is slowing down and a few investors may get
hurt. (Certainly the number of new gin distilleries opening in both Scotland and
England slowed down considerably last year – Ed.)
