Often imitated but
rarely equalled, Scotch whisky comes from a blend of heavy Scottish
malt whisky and barley whisky. It is this blend that gives each
whisky its unique identity.
Malt is obtained by the artificial germination of barley grains
that are then cooked with turf, left to rest for two months,
then brewed in boiling water. This malt-infused water will then
be put into vats with yeast for fermentation. The whisky is
distilled twice then aged in oak casks : as the casks have previously
been used to age wine, the whisky takes on its characteristic
amber colour. Before it is bottled, whisky is diluted with purified
water.
American whiskies (bourbons) made from corn, Irish whiskey made
from local cereals and Canadian whisky are all manufactured
according to more or less similar methods, variants of a recipe
that is said to be a thousand years old of what is one of the
world’s favourite drinks. |
