Whisky Cocktails
About Whisky
Whisky can be made anywhere there is access to grain and
suitable water supply. All whisky, whether Scotch, Irish,
Rye, Bourbon, or Canadian is a spirit distilled from a
fermented grain mash
It may be barley, maize, oats or rye or any other. It is
often claimed that the water is the most crucial element in
determining the quality. Good whisky is matured for a number
of years before being bottled . Scotch, and Irish are
matured in sherry casks, American in charred oak barrels.
Once it is bottled the maturing process stops. Each brand
will be blended to a specific formula. Some may contain as
many as 50 different whiskies.
There are two kinds of Scotch whisky. Malt whisky which is
made from malted barley only, and grain whisky which is made
from maize, oats etc. with a portion of malted barley.
Though Scotch whisky may be more famous it is not the
birthplace of whisky. It is generally accepted that Ireland
is the birthplace.
Bourbon is made from at least 51% maize, and is usually
bottled straight.
Most whisky’s called Rye are a blend of whisky and neutral
spirits.
Purely as a matter of custom the Irish and U.S.A are called
whiskey with an e the Scotch and Canadian whisky without the
e
The whisky of the connoisseur is malt; particularly single
malt this is not the whisky to use in cocktails. As most
whisky cocktails originated in the U.S.A Bourbon or Rye
would be used or the Scotch grain whisky, and Irish whiskey.
