WHISKY 10 THE WHISKY MAKING PROCESS

Preparation

Various grains are ground and cooked. Barley is malted, a process of soaking the barley and spreading it for about three weeks, allowing it to sprout, before drying and heating it.

Distilling

The wash is heated to the point where the alcohol turns to vapour, but the water remains liquid. The alcohol is then collected in a second container. This process is repeated to produce ‘high wine’ or ‘new whisky.’

Mashing

The cooked grain and /or malted barley are added to warm water, which converts into a liquid known as mash.

Ageing

Water is added to the high wine, which is aged in wooden barrels, usually made from white oak. Here the whisky ages for at least three or four years but most are aged up to ten or more years.

Fermenting

The mash is added to a fermentation tank, along with yeast. The yeast converts the starch to sugar and then to alcohol. After three or four days, the resulting liquid is about 10% ABV and is known as distiller’s beer, or wash.

Bottling

The resulting whisky is stored in glass bottles, which do not react with the whisky’s flavour.

WHISKY S V WHISKEY The Scots spell it ‘whisky’ whilst the Irish and Americans add the ‘e’. It is believed the Irish added the ‘e’ to differentiate themselves from the Scots, as they viewed their whiskey as superior. The ‘e’ was taken to the United States by Irish immigrants in the 1700s and has been used ever since.

MIXED DRINKS

Pure, undiluted and unadulterated, the way the whisky/whiskey is presented from the distillery. True purists always taste their whisky neat flrst and assess the spirit, before potentially adding water to open and soften the alcoholic content.

Adding a few drops of water allows the whisky to open up. Use room temperature mineral water. This reduces the alcohol strength on your palate and can bring out further flavours and aromas.

Be wary of adding too much ice as this will dilute your whisky, reducing the flavour, aroma and intensity far beyond just a few drops. Ensure ice cubes are made with good quality water and are even in size.

Primarily blended whiskies are used here. These are whiskies used in your whisky and dry, whisky and soda and also cocktails such as the Whisky Sour or Old Fashioned.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the difference between a blended and single malt? A blend is the product of at least two, but usually many, distilleries using different grains and barley distillates. A single malt is a product from only one distillery, using only malted barley. What is peat and how does it flavour Scotch whisky? Peat is a semi-hard decomposed earthen substance commonly used like wood or coal to fuel fires. It gives off a lot of smoke and therefore when used to fire the kilns to dry the barley, it smokes the grain in the process. What gives Scotch whisky its distinctive flavour and aroma? The natural elements of water, peat, grain, yeast, distillation and maturation. The Scottish climate is extremely important, particularly when the whisky is maturing. The cooler climate allows the spirit to slowly extract the complex flavour notes from the wood.

Why do whiskies produced in different distilleries vary in flavour? Key factors include the grain used and its peating (smoking) levels, the type of yeast, the size and time of fermentation and the size and shape of the stills. Probably most importantly: the cask quality, type and time the spirit is aged. Ageing conditions also have an effect, such as how the casks are stacked, the weather and distance from the sea. How many distilleries are there in Scotland? There are approximately 100 malt distilleries and seven grain distilleries currently producing spirit; however, the number working can vary from year to year. Can Scotch whisky be made only in Scotland? Yes. This is widely recognised by law, throughout the world. Thus, whisky may be described as Scotch whisky only if it has been completely distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of three years.

WHAT GIVES WHISKY ITS FLAVOUR? Maturation has the most significant impact on the flavour of whisky. Water, fermentation, distillation and type of grain also have an impact. It is important to note whisky only ages in wood. Once it is bottled, it does not age any further. The two most common types of casks used are American oak (Quercus Alba) Bourbon barrels 250L and Spanish oak (Quercus Robus) Sherry butts 500L. American oak brings the vanilla and sweet oak character (thanks to the charring process in American whiskey) whereas Spanish oak brings dry spice and sweet fruit characters thanks to the previous 30+ years that the casks have contained Sherry.

BOURBON

WHEAT

Produced using a mash of 51%-80% corn, and aged in new, charred white-oak barrels, Bourbons display the sweeter style associated with American whiskey.

RYE

Using a mash of at least 51% wheat, and aged in new, charred white-oak barrels; it’s only the grain which differentiates wheat whiskey from Bourbon, resulting in a softer style.

CORN

WHITE DOG

Must contain at least 80% corn in the mashbill and aged in uncharred oak barrels, corn whiskey is the historical style of American whiskey – inexpensive, aged for a short time and intended for immediate consumption, these show off the spirit’s natural character.

Made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred-oak barrels, these are spicier and fuller-bodied than Bourbons, making an excellent alternative to Bourbon in the classic Old Fashioned cocktail.

TENNESSEE

White Dog is the American term used for unaged whiskey, also known as ‘moonshine’ or ‘white whiskey’. Bottled directly after distillation, usually with water added to reduce it to drinking strength, these show off the character of a distillery’s spirit in its most natural form.

OTHER AMERICAN

Made from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred-oak barrels, these differ from Bourbon in two ways: they must be made in the state of Tennessee, and generally use the Lincoln County Process, whereby the whiskey is filtered through maple charcoal before bottling. The prime example of this is Jack Daniel’s, whose iconic No.7 bottling is world famous.

Other styles of American whiskey include single malt, blended and flavour infusions, as well as those made by craft or micro-distilleries which do not fit into any of the above categories for various production reasons.
