Matt of Whisky For Everyone has been writing on the Huffington Post UK since being invited as a contributor in 2012. His posts in the Lifestyle section are increasingly popular, so we thought we would publish the most-read articles in case you have not seen them before. Recently, we showed three posts on WFE for the first time. This fourth one was published on Huffington Post last week and looks at the ever-growing number of new distilleries and potential problems facing them.
