Whisky or whiskey – what’s in a name?

by mermaid99

Whisky and Whiskey – what difference does an ‘e’ make? Well, to a connoisseur quite a considerable one. To begin with whisky refers to the Scotch or Canadian variety and whiskey (with an e) is for the American or Irish brands.

To be called a Scotch whisky, whiskey has to be distilled and matured in Scotland from malted or un-malted barley or other cereal and there are several types. A deluxe blended is a blended Scotch whisky with a higher quantity of older whiskies therefore it is more expensive. Single Scotch whisky is the product of a Single Malt Whisky distillery likewise a Single Grain Whisky comes from a one grain whisky distillery. Pure Malt is a blend of several malt distilleries. Blended Scotch, as its name suggests is produced from a mix of up to 50 individual malt and grain whiskies in varying amounts. Then there is Vatted Malt Whisky; this is made from a blend of several malt distilleries but contains no grain whisky.

Irish whiskey is made from barley and distilled three times, unlike the Scottish which is distilled twice. USA and Canada produce Rye whiskey. Bourbon whiskey which can only be called that if made in the USA, must be made from a mash of not less than 51% corn grain.

Colour wise, whiskies vary from pale gold to deep liquorice. It all depends on the type of cask they have matured in and for how long. Also caramel is sometimes added to give colour. Straight whisky is one that has had no colours or flavourings added to it.

The Gaelic name for whisky is uisge beatha which means ‘water of life’. Apparently it’s not called that for nothing. A woman, who quite by accident drank anti-freeze in near fatal amounts, was told alcohol was the only antidote. Given the choice of gin, vodka or whisky, she chose whisky and was immediately given two cupfuls of it. It saved her life! So you see it’s always worth keeping a little whisky to hand.

The four flavours of single malt whisky

by ulterior epicure

Article by Douglas Felton

Single malt whisky is one of the most popular types of whisky produced these days. In general, single malt refers to a whisky product made from one specific distillery and has not been mixed with whisky from any other distilleries. In addition, the product is made from a mash that uses one particular malted grain, which is usually barley.

Single ma-lts produced in Scotland have to follow Scotch Whisky Regulations – they must be made exclusively from malted barley, distilled using a pot still, and must mature for a minimum of three years and one day in casks made of oak not exceeding 700 litres. Sin-gle malt whisky has been known to offer the greatest variation and depth of flavour of all spirits, although it is just made from three things – barley, yeast and water. The whisky must be distilled to no more than 94.8% alcohol by volume and bottled at no less than 40%.

Some of Scotland’s most experienced professionals – the renowned whisky experts Dave Broom and Jim Beveridge, have created a unique way of comparing and assessing Sin-gle malt whisky. Dubbed the ‘Flavour Map’, this creation will help you choose a Sin-gle malt whisky based on its taste and demonstrates that all Single ma-lts can be plotted on a simple grid with four quadrants. There are four distinct flavour profiles – delicate versus smoky and light versus rich.

Delicate: These whiskies normally do not use peat in the malting process. There is no smokiness derived by using peat, and whiskies in this category fall in between a light floral grassy freshness to a richer side of nutty, barley and biscuit flavours.

Smokey: Single malt whiskies found in this category contain discernible levels of peat, which is burnt in the malting process. The peat smoke ranges from scented smoke to bonfires, and kippers and lapsang souchong.

Light: These whiskies exhibit fresh flavours such as green grass, soft fruits and cereal. These flavours are a reflection of the processes that distinct distilleries follow such as fermentation or size and shape of the stills used in distillation.

Rich: Whiskies that fall in the rich end of the axis contain features derived from the nature of the wood used during maturation. Flavours such as vanilla, nutty, chocolate, dried fruit all fall within this range.
