How to drink scotch with it?

There are many ways to drink scotch whisky, the most common is to drink it directly (without water), or to add ice, water and soda water. Scotch whisky can also be drunk before meals to stimulate appetite. Or have fun with three or two confidants.

Scotch whisky contains 80% barley, 20% wheat and corn.

There are many kinds of scotch whisky, which can be divided into three categories according to the different raw materials and brewing methods: single malt whisky, grain whisky and blended whisky.

1. Single malt whisky

Distilled liquor made only from barley is called single malt whisky. Single malt whisky is made from barley malt roasted on open-air peat and distilled by pot distiller. Generally, after two distillations, the alcohol content of distilled liquor reaches 63.4 degrees, aged in special charcoal-burning oak barrels and diluted with water before bottling. This wine has a rich peat flavor. According to the regulations, the limitation time is at least three years. Generally, wine aged more than five years can be drunk. Wine aged seven to eight years is finished wine, and wine aged ten to twenty years is the best quality wine. However, the quality of wine aged for more than 20 years will decline. Single malt whisky is deeply loved by Scots, but only 10% of it is sold directly because of its strong taste, and the rest is used as the original wine when blending mixed whisky. So it is rarely exported. Famous brands are: Glendona, Ben Norman.

2. cereal whiskey

Grain whiskey uses a variety of grains as brewing raw materials, such as oats, rye, barley, wheat, corn and so on. Grain whiskey only needs one distillation, and it is mainly produced with unmalted barley and malt as saccharifying agent. The difference between it and other whiskies is that most barley does not germinate and ferment. Because most barley doesn't germinate, it doesn't need to be baked with a lot of peat, so the taste of peat after drinking the whole grain whisky is correspondingly less, and the taste is much softer and more detailed. Grain whisky is mainly used to blend other whiskies and gin, and rarely retails in the market.

Step 3 mix whiskey

Blended whisky, also known as blended whisky, refers to the blending of single malt whisky and grain whisky. Blending is a highly technical job, and the blending of whisky is mastered by the blender. When blending, we should not only consider the ratio of single malt whisky to grain whisky, but also consider the aging year, origin and taste of various blended liquors.

Scotch whisky is characterized by being brewed only in Scotland; Made from malt fermentation and distillation; Store in wooden barrels for at least three years; Scotch whisky made of malt or grain, or a mixture of the two, people born in Scotland are called Scots, and the whisky they brew is also called Scotch whisky. The two will never be confused. No other country in the world has such a close relationship with whisky as Scotland, and there are not so many whisky breweries in Scotland.
