WHISKEY / WHISKY { Wis- Kee} Noun “WHISKEY” (OR WHISKY) IS an ALCOHOLIC DISTILLATE MADE from a MASH of FERMENTED GRAIN WHISKEY / WHISKY { wis- kee} Noun “WHISKEY” (OR WHISKY) IS AN ALCOHOLIC DISTILLATE MADE FROM A MASH OF FERMENTED GRAIN. THE SPELLING OF THE WORD DEPENDS ON THE LOCATION WHERE THE SPIRIT ORIGINATES. WHILE THE SCOTS SPELL THE SPIRIT ‘WHISKY’ MOST OTHER NATIONS CALL IT ‘WHISKEY’. THE CATEGORY OF WHISKEY ITSELF IS VERY BROAD, AND IS IN FACT THE LARGEST GROWING SPIRIT CATEGORY IN THE WORLD. WHISKEY IS BEING PRODUCED ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND SO DIFFERS IN TYPE BASED ON THE GRAIN USED AND THE LOCATION IN WHICH IT WAS DISTILLED, AS WELL AS THE LENGTH OF AGEING AND THE TYPE OF OAK BARREL USED IN THE AGEING PROCESS. ALL WHISKEY MUST BE DISTILLED AT LESS THAN 190 PROOF (95% ABV) AND BOTTLED AT NO LESS THAN 80 PROOF (40% ABV). IT MUST POSSESS THE “TASTE, AROMA AND CHARACTERISTICS GENERALLY ATTRIBUTED TO WHISKEY”, ACCORDING TO THE DEFINITION PROVIDED BY THE ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU OF THE UNITED STATES. WHILE THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON WHICH TYPES OF GRAIN CAN BE USED TO CREATE A WHISKEY, THERE ARE RULES PERTAINING TO THE LABELLING OF A WHISKEY DEPENDING ON THE MASH BILL USED. FOR EXAMPLE; • BOURBON WHISKEY MUST BE MADE FROM A MINIMUM OF 51% CORN. • RYE WHISKEY MUST BE MADE FROM A MINIMUM OF 51% RYE GRAIN. • CORN WHISKEY MUST BE MADE FROM A MINIMUM OF 80% CORN. • WHEAT WHISKEY MUST BE MADE FROM A MINIMUM OF 51% WHEAT. • AMERICAN MALT WHISKEY MUST BE MADE FROM A MINIMUM OF 51% MALTED BARLEY. • A SINGLE MALT SCOTCH MUST BE MADE FROM 100% MALTED BARLEY, AND BE DISTILLED IN A POT STILL BY A SINGLE DISTILLERY. ONCE DISTILLED, ALL WHISKEY IS AGED IN OAK BARRELS. DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE WHISKEY PRODUCER, THE OAK MAY VARY. BOURBON IS AGED IN AMERICAN OAK BARRELS, WHILE SCOTCH IS SOMETIMES AGED IN EUROPEAN OAK. THE BARRELS CAN BE EITHER TOASTED, WHICH IS MAINLY A EUROPEAN METHOD, OR CHARRED. MOST WHISKEY PRODUCERS IN THE UNITED STATES WILL CHAR THEIR BARRELS. FROM THIS OAK, THE WHISKEY WILL INHERIT FLAVOR, COLOUR AND AROMAS. ONCE THE WHISKEY IS BARRELED, IT WILL BE STORED AND AGED IN A “RICKHOUSE”, UNTIL A TIME AT WHICH THE MASTER BLENDER IS SATISFIED WITH THE WHISKEY AND THE BOTTLING PROCESS BEGINS. FACTORS SUCH AS THE POSITION OF THE BARREL WITHIN THE RICKHOUSE AND THE TEMPERATURE OF THE RICKHOUSE WILL AFFECT THE WHISKEY, AND THOSE PLACED AT THE TOP OF A RICKHOUSE WILL AGE AT AN ACCELERATED PACE, WHILE THOSE AT THE BOTTOM LEVELS OF THE RICKHOUSE WILL MATURE AT A SLOWER RATE. EACH DISTILLERY HAS A MASTER BLENDER WHO OVERSEES THE WHISKEY FROM THE INITIAL DISTILLATION THROUGH THE AGEING PROCESS AND THEN TO THE BOTTLING OF THEIR WHISKEY. 1 BOURBON BOURBON WHISKEY IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMONLY RECOGNIZED CATEGORIES OF WHISKEY. ACCORDING TO THE TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU (TTB), ANY SPIRIT LABELLED AS A BOURBON; • MUST BE PRODUCED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA • MUST BE DISTILLED FROM A FERMENTED MASH OF A MINIMUM OF 51% CORN • MAY NOT BE DISTILLED HIGHER THAN 160 PROOF (80% ABV)• • MUST BE ENTERED INTO THE BARREL AT NO HIGHER THAN 125 PROOF (62.5% ABV) IN CHARRED NEW OAK BARRELS WHILE THERE IS NO PARTICULAR RULE HOW LONG A BOURBON MUST STAY INSIDE THE BARREL FOR AGEING, THE LABEL MUST STATE THE AGE IF IT IS AGED FOR LESS THAN 4 YEARS. IF YOU WISH TO LABEL YOUR BOURBON AS A “STRAIGHT BOURBON” THEN IT MUST BE AGED FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS IN THE BARREL. 1792 BOTTLED IN BOND KENTUCKY 50.0% BARTON 1792 DISTILLERY $38 1792 FULL PROOF KENTUCKY 62.5% BARTON 1792 DISTILLERY $35 1792 FULL PROOF - WHISKEY HUNT BARREL PICK KENTUCKY 62.5% BARTON 1792 DISTILLERY $35 1792 SINGLE BARREL KENTUCKY 49.3% BARTON 1792 DISTILLERY $40 1792 SMALL BATCH KENTUCKY 46.9% BARTON 1792 DISTILLERY $15 1835 BOURBON (LONESTAR) TEXAS 45.0% NORTH TEXAS DISTILLERS $16 A.

  • Willettdistillery.Com Bardstown, KY the Willett Family Distilling Legacy Began in Kentucky Shortly After the Civil War
    distillery Authors of memorable Kentucky Bourbon & Kentucky Rye Whiskey willettdistillery.com Bardstown, KY The Willett family distilling legacy began in Kentucky shortly after the Civil War. John David Willett was the Master Distiller and part owner of Moore, Willett & Frenke Distillery in Bardstown, KY. John David’s son Lambert Willett walked 5 miles each way to his distilling job at the current site of Barton’s. It wasn’t until Lambert began working at the Bernhiem Distillery in Louisville that he purchased a car for his commute so he could come home to his family every night. Lambert worked 6 days a week for nearly a decade at Bernhiem. During prohibition Lambert raised cattle and hogs to support his family and community. The effects of prohibition were devastating to the Bourbon Capital of the World®. Immediately following the repeal of prohibition in December of 1933, Lambert’s son Thompson began learning the distilling trade apprenticing alongside his father at the age of 25. Est. 1936. Three short years after prohibition, on the site of the family hog and cattle farm, Thompson began construction on what is now the Willett Distillery. By St Patrick’s Day 1937, the first barrel of whiskey was rolled into Warehouse A. At Willett Distillery, it’s our job to make memorable whiskey. It’s your job to savor slowly and make lasting memories. willettdistillery.com After 80 years, Willett remains independently family owned and operated. Under the leadership of parents Even and Martha Willett Kulsveen, the fifth generation of family distillers, siblings Britt and Drew Kulsveen, are continuing the family tradition of spirits excellence, generosity and southern hospitality.

This is 40 units (as 10ml of pure alcohol = one unit). So, in of thumb that a glass of wine was 100ml of the whisky, there would be 4 units. about 1 unit has become out of date. And hence, a 25ml single measure of whisky Nowadays, a large glass of wine might would contain 1 unit. well contain 3 units or more – about the The maths is straightforward. To calculate units, same amount as a treble vodka. take the quantity in millilitres, multiply it by the ABV (expressed as a percentage) and divide So how do you know how much is in by 1,000. your drink?

  • Know Your Liquor VODKA WHISKY
    Know Your Liquor VODKA Good to know: Vodka is least likely to give you a hangover Vodka is made by fermenting grains or crops such as potatoes with yeast. It's then purified and repeatedly filtered, often through charcoal, strange as it sounds, until it's as clear as possible. CALORIES: Because vodka contains no carbohydrates or sugars, it contains only calories from ethanol (around 7 calories per gram), making it the least-fattening alcoholic beverage. So a 35ml shot of vodka would contain about 72 calories. PROS: Vodka is the 'cleanest' alcoholic beverage because it contains hardly any 'congeners' - impurities normally formed during fermentation.These play a big part in how bad your hangover is. Despite its high alcohol content - around 40 per cent - vodka is the least likely alcoholic drink to leave you with a hangover, said a study by the British Medical Association CONS: Vodka is often a factor in binge drinking deaths because it is relatively tasteless when mixed with fruit juices or other drinks. HANGOVER SEVERITY: 3/10 WHISKY Good to know: Whisky or Scotch is distilled from fermented grains, such as barley or wheat, then aged in wooded casks. Whisky 'madness': It triggers erratic and unpredictable behaviour because most people drink whisky neat CALORIES: About 80 calories per 35ml shot. PROS: Single malt whiskies have been found to contain high levels of ellagic acid, according to Dr Jim Swan of the Royal Society of Chemists. This powerful acid inhibits the growth of tumours caused by certain carcinogens and kills cancer cells without damaging healthy cells.

  • Midnight Moonshine Rendezvous by Dr
    Midnight Moonshine Rendezvous by Dr. Stony Merriman Story by Luke Alexander Denny Chapter 1 Personal History Luke Alexander Denny, the legendary Middles Tennessee moonshine runner opened his life by saying, “I was born near Buffalo Valley in Putnam County, Tennessee, November 20 or 21,1917. I have always considered November 21 as my birthday. In fact, that date is on my discharge certificate from the U.S. Army. My birth certificate, however, states I arrived at 5 p.m., on the 20th which was on a cold Tuesday. The temperature was around 10 degrees below zero, according to my Uncle Floyd Huddleston, who I’m told had a photographic memory,” Denny explained. “My Great Uncle Jessie Huddleston told me many times it was the coldest winter he had ever experienced. According to my father Hugh Toi Denny, the weather turned cold around November 3. It started snowing , but the temperature was so low there wasn’t much accumulation. All that fell remained on the ground. It snowed off and on all of November, and up through December. Several of the old timers from Rock Spring (the community where I was born) said the snow didn’t melt until sometime in early spring. In the far reaches on North Hill some snow could be seen as late as April 10. Mr. Earl McCallum, also told me the Tennessee River froze over throughout southern Tennessee and northern Alabama. Earl lived in Savannah, Tennessee, at the time. “As I said, my dad was Hugh Toi Denny. Dad was born in 1882. He was a 35- year-old farmer when I was born.
