Scotch is some of my favorite alcohol to drink. What about you?
Scotch is great, they really know how to make whisky
Yeah it's so great! How long has it been around?
scotch whisky has been around for a few centuires and has to be at least 3 years old to be considered
3 years of aging? That's quite a long time!
Yep, they found mentions of it as old as 1495 in scotland
I can only assume that is why its called Scotch?
yep it simply just references that it is scottish
Makes sense, just didn't really consider it before!
Scotch whisky
Scotch whisky (; often simply called Scotch) is malt whisky or grain whisky made in Scotland. Scotch whisky must be made in a manner specified by law.
All Scotch whisky was originally made from malted barley. Commercial distilleries began introducing whisky made from wheat and rye in the late 18th century. Scotch whisky is divided into five distinct categories: single malt Scotch whisky, single grain Scotch whisky, blended malt Scotch whisky (formerly called "vatted malt" or "pure malt"), blended grain Scotch
old whisky that uses a vatting process similar to the solera. The whisky is labelled as their "15 year old single malt Scotch Whisky". For Scotch whisky, the stated age must refer to the youngest of whisky's components. Barrels are emptied into the solera vat and mixed. Then whisky is drawn from the vat to be bottled, with the vat never being more than half emptied. Since the process began in 1998, the vat has never been emptied.
In France some producers use the "perpétuelle"
