On the surface this sounds like the ingredients for baking bread. Or, for that matter, beer. For good reason. Grain, which is sometimes malted, yeast, and water are the constituents of both bread and beer. Maybe that’s why some Whiskeys own bread-like, doughy or yeasty aromatic and taste qualities. But with just three primary ingredients, why is Whiskey such a complicated beverage category? That’s the question that can cause the most confusion. The Whiskey category’s wide latitude of types from various regions of the globe are best defined and preserved through the prism of a half-dozen pivotal factors that affect telltale characteristics: • First, the choice of grain(s), meaning that specific kinds of grains (rye, wheat, corn aka, maize, barley, oats, spelt) create specific varieties of aromas and tastes that are considered germane to certain subcategories. To illus- trate, straight Bourbon Whiskey is sweeter than, say, single malt Scotch Whisky because corn contains more sugar in its makeup than barley. • Second, the management and selection of oak barrels, in terms of barrel variety and the duration of the maturation period. Most distillers will tell you that the period of oak barrel aging and the variety and history of the barrel influence the aroma and taste of Whiskey by from 60% to 80%. (SEE APPENDIX A) • Third, the origin, quality, and preservation of the water source. Yes, water is a key element, in that, even though Whiskeys are fermented first then distilled, water can and does affect the final outcome and is why so many distilleries fiercely protect their water source. • Fourth, the terroir effect, if any, on the Whiskey, meaning the environmental influence of the Whiskey’s place of origin. This is a controversial point, but there can be a strong case made for certain Whiskeys being directly influenced by the location of the distillery or, more importantly, the aging warehouses. • Fifth, the variety of distillation utilized, meaning customary, labor-intensive, batch-by-batch pot-still or efficient column still distillation or even a blend of both. This key factor is often misunderstood not only by the drinking public but by beverage tradespeople, as well. One method isn’t better than the other. They merely provide different types of unaged spirit that eventually becomes Whiskey. • And sixth, the Whiskey production laws and standards of the originating nation or region. These half-dozen aspects are crucial to each Whiskey type’s underlying personality and degree of quality. The best way to understand the centuries-old universe of Whiskey is to take a tour of the world’s foremost Whiskey making nations. That’s the mission of THE WHISKEY AUTHORITY. thewhiskeyauthority.com 3 In addition to recognizing the six factors to quality, it’s likewise good to understand a few other funda- mental facts. For instance, the word Whiskey is derived from the ancient Gaelic term for “water of life”, uisge beatha (OOSH-kah bay-ah). Making matters somewhat confusing is how different nations prefer to spell Whiskey. Ireland and the U.S., with some exceptions like Maker’s Mark Bourbon, prefer the employment of the “e” while Canada, Japan, and Scotland drop the “e”. The plurals then become “Whiskeys” for Whiskey and “Whiskies” for Whisky. When referring to the worldwide industry, THE WHISKEY AUTHORITY chooses to use “Whiskey”. Also, Whiskey is produced in many countries that grow grain. The “Big Five” are Scotland, United States, Canada, Ireland, and Japan. Other Whiskey-making nations, to lesser degree, include England, France, India, Australia, Taiwan, Belgium, South Africa, and Wales. Then there are the mushrooming “craft” distillers in North America and Europe, who have Whiskey in their portfolios. The reality is that imbibers inhabit the best time in history to be a Whiskey lover. 4 thewhiskeyauthority.com WHISKEY DOSSIER: WATER OF LIFE Latin-speaking medieval Christian monks called them “aqua vitae”. The monks’ contemporaries in France referred to them as “eau-de-vie”. Gaelic-speaking distillers in Ireland and Scotland identified them as “uisge beatha”. Poles and Russians labeled them as “zhizennia voda”. All of these regional monikers meant one thing: “water of life”. These names were employed in direct reference to the fermented and distilled liquids that by the fif- teenth century had become firmly rooted in societies from Russia, Poland, Scandinavia, Germany, and the British Isles in Europe’s northern tier to France, Spain, Italy, and Greece in the south. But, what was meant by “water of life”? Why use this evocative combination of terms? The meaning has to do with how distilled liq- uids were viewed in the first place and how they evolved over two and a half millennia. >> Fermentation First, Then Distillation The beverages that we’re talking about come about through two necessary transformative processes: fermen- tation and distillation. Well prior to the discovery of the process of distillation, which most likely occurred in or around the region of what is today Pakistan and northern India in the second century B.C.E., Eurasian farmers utilized fermentation to convert commonplace fruit juices, especially grape juice, and grain mashes into low-alcohol (5 to 12 percent) beverages. Alcohol, carbon dioxide, and heat are generated when a univer- sally available microorganism ― yeast ― consumes innate sugars in either fruit juices or mashes of grain. Fermentation is a natural biochemical process that is triggered whenever sugary liquids come into contact with either airborne or purposely injected yeasts. Because fruit juices are innately sugary, wines can, under the right circumstances, virtually make themselves. A bit of human intervention, as the world has observed for the past thousand years as wines have dramatically improved, helps. With beer, the procedure is a bit more complicated, in that the starches in the grains must first be converted to sugar through dampening which stimulates partial germination. Once the grain starches have changed over to sugars, the resultant soupy mash starts to transform with the introduction of yeast cells. Thus, beer really does need an assist from mankind in order to happen. And for at least 5,000 years, mankind has been delighted to oblige. That, in rudimentary terms, is what happens in fermentation, the ini- tial step in the process of making distilled liquids. Via fermentation, fruit juices become wines and grain mashes become beers. Simple. In the historical sense, these two beverages have very likely existed since before historical events were formally recorded. Early agrarian communities from 3,000 B.C.E. and before have displayed indisputable archeological evidence of winemaking and brewing. Pinpointing exactly when fermentation took flight within the framework of an ancient community must be left to speculation. Regarding distillation, historians now have a relatively clear sense of when this second step may have first bubbled up to the surface. Archeological digs in the 1960s conducted in the ancient Greek-Indian city of Shaikhan Dheri in Pakistan unearthed compelling evidence of earthen pot stills that suggested the existence of small-scale distilleries.

  • The Perceptual Categorisation of Blended and Single Malt Scotch Whiskies Barry C
    Smith et al. Flavour (2017) 6:5 DOI 10.1186/s13411-017-0056-x RESEARCH Open Access The perceptual categorisation of blended and single malt Scotch whiskies Barry C. Smith1*, Carole Sester2, Jordi Ballester3 and Ophelia Deroy1 Abstract Background: Although most Scotch whisky is blended from different casks, a firm distinction exists in the minds of consumers and in the marketing of Scotch between single malts and blended whiskies. Consumers are offered cultural, geographical and production reasons to treat Scotch whiskies as falling into the categories of blends and single malts. There are differences in the composition, method of distillation and origin of the two kinds of bottled spirits. But does this category distinction correspond to a perceptual difference detectable by whisky drinkers? Do experts and novices show differences in their perceptual sensitivities to the distinction between blends and single malts? To test the sensory basis of this distinction, we conducted a series of blind tasting experiments in three countries with different levels of familiarity with the blends versus single malts distinction (the UK, the USA and France). In each country, expert and novice participants had to perform a free sorting task on nine whiskies (four blends, four single malts, one single grain, plus one repeat) first by olfaction, then by tasting. Results: Overall, no reliable perceptual distinction was revealed in the tasting condition between blends and single malts by experts or novices when asked to group whiskies according to their similarities and differences. There was nonetheless a clear effect of expertise, with experts showing a more reliable classification of the repeat sample.

  • The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages
    The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages © 2016 Robert A. Freitas Jr. All Rights Reserved. Abstract. Specialized nanofactories will be able to manufacture specific products or classes of products very efficiently and inexpensively. This paper is the first serious scaling study of a nanofactory designed for the manufacture of a specific food product, in this case high-value-per- liter alcoholic beverages. The analysis indicates that a 6-kg desktop appliance called the Fine Spirits Synthesizer, aka. the “Whiskey Machine,” consuming 300 W of power for all atomically precise mechanosynthesis operations, along with a commercially available 59-kg 900 W cryogenic refrigerator, could produce one 750 ml bottle per hour of any fine spirit beverage for which the molecular recipe is precisely known at a manufacturing cost of about $0.36 per bottle, assuming no reduction in the current $0.07/kWh cost for industrial electricity. The appliance’s carbon footprint is a minuscule 0.3 gm CO2 emitted per bottle, more than 1000 times smaller than the 460 gm CO2 per bottle carbon footprint of conventional distillery operations today. The same desktop appliance can intake a tiny physical sample of any fine spirit beverage and produce a complete molecular recipe for that product in ~17 minutes of run time, consuming <25 W of power, at negligible additional cost.

  • The Invicta Whisky Charter from the Distillers of Masthouse Whisky This
    The Invicta Whisky Charter from the distillers of Masthouse Whisky This charter is made by Copper Rivet Distillery, England, distillers of Masthouse Whisky. English Whisky stands on the shoulders of the great whiskies from around the world and, as one of the founding distilleries of this revived tradition in England, we are making a commitment to consumers of our spirit that Masthouse Whisky is, and will always be, produced in accordance with these high standards. We do not believe that a tradition of exacting standards, high quality and innovation and experimentation are mutually exclusive. Our home of Chatham’s historic Royal Dockyard has demonstrated this over centuries, crafting and innovating to build world class ships. And we wish to set out areas where we intentionally leave latitude to create new and (or) nuanced expressions of this noble and beloved craft of whisky making. We believe that consumers have a right to know what they are buying and how what they consume and enjoy is produced made. Our commitment is that, when our whisky is chosen, it will have been made in strict adherence with these exacting standards designed to underpin character, flavour and quality. We don’t presume to lay out standards on behalf other great distilleries in other regions of England – we expect that they may wish to set their own rules and standards which underpin the character of their spirit. This is our charter, for our whisky. Our commitment, our promise, our standards – our charter The spirit must be distilled in England, United Kingdom. The entire process from milling grist, creating wort, fermenting distiller’s beer, distillation and filling casks must happen at the same site.
