The hechsher will NOT raise the price
June 10, 2010 4:34 am

Whatever the (de)merits of a hechsher on this product, please do NOT feed into the “kosher tax” fringe nuts who claim that kashrus supervision raises prices. The price is petty cash to the huge firm that owns the distillery, and because kosher restaurants and caterers etc will insist on the supervised bottles, it will raise sales.

SCAM?
why is it a scam? just people will feel more comfortable buying it if it has a hechsher …
and for the company it is a way to market it to the frum world.

Drinking should not be taken advantage of…
Just a comment that i feel is necessary to post on an article like this!

agree

I agree with #9 nearly all single malt do not need a hechsher it is only a money making scam and by the way will bottels here in THE U.K. have a hechsher ???????????? I dont think so if yes dose this mean that the ones with a hechsher come from the USA after being prodused in the UK shiped to USA then shipped to UK so the one with hechsher will cost twice AS MUCH

Recommendation
June 9, 2010 10:21 am

Only “Glendreck Single Spill” from Glendreck Distilleries in Rockland County, is considered 100% kosher. That is because it is distilled from oil salvaged from the spill off Louisiana and is in no way subject to aging or to any halachas concerning chometz sheovor alav haPesach. I highly recommend it.

Rav Landa does not necessarily accept any product approved by the OU. To the best of my knowledge, he does not accept US Coca Cola which is under the OU any more than he accepts European Coca Cola that is not under any certification.

great question – does it need a hechsher
do 90% of the items that have a hechsher need one?

Looking for clarity
June 9, 2010 9:31 am

I thought Rav Landau from Bnei Brak had some serious concerns with Scotch being in wine barrels. Does anyone know if this hechsher is OK’d with Rav Landau?

Will the OU certificate those malts which have been matured
or double matured in Sherry, Port and other wine casks?
I can go along with malts which do not boast wine or sherry cask maturation. If the production states clearly that there are hints of sherry or sweetness in either the taste or nose, surely this is sufficient to condemn such production!

What a Money Making Scam
June 9, 2010 8:04 am

Single malt whiskey does not need a Hechsher.
Some Poskim say that if it is distilled in Sherry Casks it may be problematic. But if distilled in standard casks (usually oak casks used first to distill American Bourbon) it categorically does not need a Hechsher.
This is a money making scheme by OU.

why
June 9, 2010 1:57 am
