We've seen organic rum, vodka, gin and now I've learned there is also an organic whisky. Highland Harvest Organic Grain Whisky is a blend of three grain whiskies (highland, island and Speyside) along with a highland malt which have been matured together in Scotland for four years. The whisky has a light taste with notes of pine and fruit. According to an article in the Scotsman that came out last year the process of making organic whisky is different because the organic producers use natural yeast instead of cultivated yeast. This results in a whisky that is sweeter and less harsh.It's probably not going to replaced your aged single malt anytime soon but whisky may be the spirit in which the use of organic grains results in the largest taste difference. It sells for £14.99.
