| | Scotch whisky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Grain whisky may contain unmalted barley or other malted or unmalted grains such as wheat and maize and is typically distilled in a continuous column still, known as a Patent or Coffey still, the latter after Aeneas Coffey who developed it in 1831. | | | For malt whisky, the wash is moved into pot stills for the first of two or three distillations, while for grain whisky the wash is distilled in a column still. | | | Malt whisky must contain no grain other than malted barley and be distilled in pot stills. |

| | Spirits: Scotch Whisky |
| | Scotch Grain Whisky (which is rarely bottled as such) is made primarily from wheat or corn with a small percentage of barley and barley malt (the latter not being dried over peat fires). | | | The basis of Scotch whisky is the heather-flavored ales made from barley malt that the Picts and their prehistoric ancestors brewed. | | | Traditional Islay malt whiskies are intensely smoky and pungent in character with a distinctive iodine or medicinal tang that is said to come from sea salt permeating the local peat that is used to dry the barley malt. |

| | Unlike a grain or grape distillate, the distillate of mescal (from which Tequila is made) is virtually free of congeners, so aging is not important. | | | Whiskey is a spirit, aged in wood, obtained from the distillation of a fermented mash of grain. | | | Yeast, which is a living organism, feeds on the grain sugars and produces an alcoholic whiskey known to the trade as “distiller’s beer.” The fermentation process takes from two to four days, depending on the method employed. |

| | Epinions.com - You hate whisky? Most probably you are wrong about that. |
| | Unknown to many, blended whisky is essentially grain whisky (typically by more than 90% if I remember correctly), but the sting and the lack of character is overcome by spicing it up with a carefully selected variety of single malts to give it the characteristic taste that each blended whisky has. | | | Whisky should be drank warm, and thus preferably from a thin glass (so that you can warm it in your hands). | | | - Whiskies age in casks, not in bottles. |

| | The Wee Dram - Different types of Whisky |
| | Single malt whisky has individual characteristics depending upon how the barley is malted, the size and shape of the stills, the number of distillations, the type and history of cask and the water used. | | | Usually Scottish, whisky produced by distilling malted barley, usually in a pot still (malt) and the produce of one distillery (single). | | | In other parts of the World, whisky produced in a pot still may have other grains, other than malted barley - these are sometimes called pot still or pure pot still whiskies and can have similar characteristics to single malts. |
