of the celts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. The

Old Irish name for the favorite drink was uisgebeatha,

8/44

Whisky Making WhiskyWhisky is made from a cereal; some (or all) of it

malted, that has been ground into a rough flour then

mashed by passing hot water through the flour to

extract a sweet liquid. This is cooled, yeast is addedand the mixture ferments, turning into a crude beer.

This is then distilled in either a pot or a column still.

Because alcohol boils at a lower temperature than

water, the alcohol vapours are released first. These

are condensed into a clear, strong spirit which is then

aged in Oak casks.

Whisky Scotch WhiskyThe only true Scotch is the single malt whiskey-

one that comes from a single distillery and is made

exclusively from malt. Most people would consider

this fairly heavy, perhaps because of its pronounced

peatiness. From that extreme, through blending

with other types of whiskey, especially grain whiskey,

the taste of the pure malt is subdued until you getwhat the American whiskey fancier likes, which has

a higher percentage of grain whiskey.

Whisky Scotch Whisky,,,,,,.Scotch whiskey is obtained primarily from barley,

Which is grown in Scotland preferably, but of late

Years barley from California, Canada, India, Africa,

And other countries has been imported for distilling

Purposes.

Whisky Scotch Whisky

Fully blended Scotch is laid away in casks for marring

for periods of five to twelve or even twenty years.

all Scotch malts, remain in their casks for a minimum

of five years. However, it is important to keep in mind

that the quality of the whisky and skill of the blenders

hand must be there first. A poor whisky, or one that

has been poorly blended, will continue to be a poor

whisky, regardless of its age.

Whisky Irish Whisky,,,,,,,.The Irish have been making whiskey for at least

seven hundred years. In fact, most authorities agree

that the art of distilling the malted grain originated

in Ireland and the knowledge spread from there to

western Scotland. Irelands whiskey is unlike Scotch

whiskey, it is softer, sweeter and sophisticated.

Whisky American Whisky,,,In colonial days, Scotland and Ireland immigrants

brought the knowledge of whiskey making with them.

Most of farmers had home constructed pot stills and

Made their brew from whatever grain was available.

In western New York and Pennsylvania it was rye;

farther south it was corn.

Whisky American Whisky Three categories of American whiskeys

o Straight Whiskey,,,,.Straight Whisky is distilled from corn, rye, barley

or wheat(not blended with neutral grain spirits or

any other whiskey) and aged in charred oak barrels

for a minimum of two years.

Bourbon Whiskey is distilled from a mash of grain

containing not less than 51 percent corn and is

normally aged four years in new charred oak barrels.

Bourbon is amber in color and full-bodied in flavor.

When distilled in Kentucky it is usually referred to

as Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.bourbon is

also produced in Illinois, Indiana,Ohio,Pennsylvania

Tennessee and Missouri.

Whisky Making Irish Whisky,,,,,,.Irish Whiskeys are produced in much the same way

as those of Scotland,except that the malted grain is

not smoked over a peat fire.But cooked gently with

A smokeless coal fire.Thus,there is no smoky taste.some Irish whiskeys are made with pure barley mash

some with a mixture of oats and barley and still

Others With a combination of several grains

supervision. Though the government does not

guarantee the quality of bonded whiskey, it does

require that the whiskey be at least four years old,

that it be bottled at 100 proof, that it be produced

in one distilling by the same distiller, and that it be

sorted and Bottled at a bonded warehouse under

government supervision.

may be attributed in part to special grain varieties

that have been developed to withstand the severe

Making of Japanese whiskeys,,,,,,,Much of the heavier-bodied whiskies are made from

malted barley, some small portion of which is cured over

peat. Most of the whisky used in the blended Japanese

whiskey uses millet, corn, India corn, some small

quantities of rice, and other grains in varying proportions

in their mash bill. Wheat and rye are seldom used.

Making ofAmerican whiskeys

American whiskeys are made by a process very

similar to the one used for making grain whiskeys in

Scotland, except that the grains are different and the

whiskey is distilled out at a lower proof. Western

Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee and surroundingareas are the center of the American whiskey industry

because of the plentiful supply of very pure limestone
