Whisky from Pakistan

If travelling in Pakistan and worried about the absence of alcohol, look no further. Whilst Pakistan is predominantly Muslim, about 97% according to one source, which does not approve of drinking alcohol, the Murree Brewery Co Ltd (established in 1860 to produce beer and spirits, mostly for British colonial troops) is set to produce a 20-year-old single malt whisky. The malt whisky is due to go on sale in July to non-Muslims and its makers are not expecting huge sales. Mr Javed, the General Manager proudly announced, “Our product will match the best Scotch whiskies in the world.”
