[USPRwire, Fri May 22 2009] Scotsman.com this week became the first UK newspaper publisher to launch a dedicated whisky website.

Scotsman Whisky, which can be found at www.scotsman.com/whisky, was built in-house by scotsman.com's team of developers and aims to become a definitive source of information on Scotland's national drink.

Users of the site will find an interactive map featuring information on 93 of Scotland's distilleries alongside videos, a whisky blog, an events guide and articles and features written by The Scotsman Publication's expert team of whisky writers.

Stephen Emerson of scotsman.com said: "We felt there was a definite gap in the market for a professionally-produced site due to the huge interest in whisky both at home and abroad.

"We will continue to develop and add to the site with the aim of making it a one-stop-shop for all things whisky."

The site has been designed for both whisky drinkers and professionals alike.

"We believe the site will appeal to both professionals and those who simply who enjoy a dram", said Stephen Emerson.

"Our news sections will be updated with the latest industry news and will also include features detailing the history and colourful character of whisky."
