Please, please don't let whisky be contributing to climate change!
The Scotch Whisky Association clearly has some feelings about all of this. “Some loss of spirit from casks during maturation is a natural part of the whisky-making process,” a spokesman told the. “Losses of ethanol average around 2 percent per year and, as the Scottish Government has previously stated, is neither harmful to health nor impactful on the environment due to its rapid dispersal.
Presumably, Sturgeon and her Scottish National Party are shining a light on this issue because the concern about climate change is very real. The government claims that the whisky industry is responsible for about 50 percent of NMVOC emissions, as abstract a concept as that might be. While in general it’s understood what their effects are, that doesn’t necessarily apply to emissions related to whisky. And that is a very valuable industry to Scotland’s economy, and therefore to the UK overall.
