F.A.Q.s
Q. What’s the scoop on whisky?
A. Since at least the early 15th century, people have enjoyed Whisky. An alcoholic beverage distilled from one of a variety of fermented grain mash such as barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat and maize (corn), it’s aged in wooden casks-usually oak.
Scotch is a popular type of whisky. Coming in one of four very different categories, Scotch melds to fit any personal taste: single malt, vatted malt (a.k.a. “pure malt”), blended and single-grain. While it’s usually distilled two or three times, Scotch must be matured in an oak cask in Scotland for at least three years. For the best possible flavor, drink it straight up or with a twist.
Q. How is gin made?
A. Gin is a white spirit flavored with juniper berries and botanicals. Its spirit base is primarily grain, usually wheat or rye, giving gin a lighter body than other spirits.
Q. Tell me about vodka!
A. Not only is Vodka an excellent way to fortify flavors in alcoholic drinks, it’s also one of the most popular distilled beverages in the world. Vodka is a colorless liquid containing water and a purified distillate from a fermented substance like potatoes, grain or sugar beet molasses. Vodka’s alcohol content is 35% to 50% by volume.
Q. What makes bourbon special?
A. Since the late 1700s, this whiskey named after Bourbon County, Kentucky, has infused evenings with spirit. Bourbon must be made in the U.S. of a grain mixture that's at least 51% corn; it cannot be distilled to more than 160 (U.S.) proof, and must be aged in new, American, charred oak barrels. Although there was no single inventor of bourbon, many legends have evolved around the product’s truly American origins.
Q. Yah, mon, what’s up with the rum?
A. Rum is made by distilling fermented sugar and water. After distillation, the clear liquid is aged in oak and other barrels. Produced mostly in the Caribbean, rum comes in a variety of styles ranging from “light rums” to golden and dark rums.
Q. Where does tequila come from?
A. Named after the area surrounding the town of Tequila in the Mexican state of Jalisco, tequila is a hard liquor made from the fermented juices of the blue agave plant. The extracted juices are distilled two times; alcohol content is about 38-40%, but more potent types of tequila can range from 43-46%.
