| | Whisky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Whisky (or whiskey) is the name for a broad category of alcoholic beverages distilled from grains, that are subsequently aged in oak casks. | | | Grain whisky differs from malt in that it is usually made from corn/maize, and distilled in continuous distillation process stills known as Coffey stills instead of the pot still used for quality whisky. | | | Whisky (or whiskey) comes from the Gaelic uisge/uisce beatha meaning "water of life", and is ultimately derived from Latin Aqua vitae and cognate to such words as French "eau de vie", designating distilled spirits (particularly from fruits other than grapes) in general, or the Scandinavian "aguavit". |

| | These bottles will usually have a label which details the date the whisky was distilled, the date it was bottled, the number of bottles produced, the number of the particular bottle, and the number of the cask which produced the bottles. | | | Malt whisky must contain no grain other than malted barley and is traditionally distilled in pot stills. | | | The dried malt (and in the case of grain whisky, other grains) is ground into a coarse flour called "grist." It is then mixed with hot water, and allowed to steep. |

| | Canadian whisky was introduced early in the 19th century and is a blend of flavoured and neutral whiskies made from mashes of maize, rye, wheat, and barley malt. | | | Distilled spirit made from cereals: Scotch whisky from malted barley, Irish whiskey usually from barley, and North American whiskey and bourbon from maize and rye. | | | American whiskey was introduced in the 18th century and is made from barley malt with maize and rye, made into a beer, then distilled to 80% alcohol and reduced to 50–52% with water, and is aged in unused, charred white-oak barrels. |

| | WHISKY - LoveToKnow Article on WHISKY |
| | The general run of Irish pot-still whiskies are made with 30 to 50% of malted barley, the balance being rye, oats, unmalted barley and wheat. | | | The liquor known as usquebaugh in the r7th and 18th centuries was not, however, of the same character as the whisky of modern times, but was a compound of plain spirit with saffron, nutmegs, sugar and other spices and flavouring matters. | | | Similarly the term sherry wood is as a rule only applied to a cask the wood of which has become impregnated with sherry by contact with that wine, and which has not been used in any other manner. |

| | Whisky which is matured in former fresh oak sherry casks is usually, after maturation, a darker colour than that which is matured in refilled white oak casks. | | | The aroma and flavour of Scotch Whisky are inherent within the spirit itself and depend chiefly on the water and method of distillation used. | | | Both Scotch Whisky and gin are colourless when they leave the still but whisky derives some colour from the casks in which it is matured. |

| | C&EN: WHAT'S THAT STUFF? WHISKY |
| | Origins aside, whisky is a spirit made from fermented barley malt, grain, or both that's distilled and then aged in a barrel. | | | Some Scotch whiskies are renowned for their peaty taste, which they acquire from phenols produced when slow-burning peat is used to dry the malted barley. | | | Etymologists trace the root of the word whisky to the Gaelic phrase for "water of life"--uisge beatha to the Scottish Gaels and uisce beatha to the Irish Gaels. |

| | Taste whisky with Slate. By David Edelstein |
| | The reasons for this trend are hard to pinpoint, but it's surely part of the same movement that brought millions to microbrewed beers and boutique wines: a quest for purity and intensity of flavor after nearly a century of homogenization. | | | I eyeballed the glass—a bulb-shaped snifter ideal for focusing the whisky's aroma, or "nose." The liquid was a lustrous amber, but I had to concede that it smelled like a slab of smoked herring left overnight on the counter of a warm kitchen. | | | But the elements are all so perfectly knit: The whisky leaves your mouth tingly and your lips with the faintest coat of salt, like a walk along a beach in a warm, humid haze among smoldering bonfires. |
