SCOTCH WHISKY
Scotch whisky is certainly one of the most
famous and most popular spirits in the world.
Among the most famous regions in which
these noble drops are produced include
Lowlands, Highlands, Speyside, Islands, and
Isly.
There are approximately 100 active distilleries
in Scotland and surrounding areas. The best
spring water from nearby sources is used
almost exclusively by distillers. The
production of whisky is a tedious affair. In
principle,
barley is simply fermented, and after a few
firings there is a clear liquor with high 65-70%
alcohol. This is necessary because the
storage in oak barrels causes an evaporation
of alcohol over the years.
Through this storage, the liquid takes on
substances and flavours from the barrel and
also from the ambient air. The barrels
"breathe".
Therefore, the storage is also often found in
natural seashore regions. The longer a whisky
is stored, the stronger and darker it is. And of
course more expensive. The Counter
estimates that 1.19 billion bottles per year are
exported.
If the whisky is 15 years
old, then it means that:
The whisky is outsourced
by the burning process for
15 years in oak barrels,
before being bottled.
It does not matter how
long it remains in the
layered bottle for, because
the taste will remain
unchanged.
Space Whisky:
The Ardbeg Galileo was
the first whisky to fly in
space. On the ISS, it was
kept together with the oak
to test maturation.
Whisky as an investment!
Where else can you get
more than 40 percent?
Some bottles rise in value;
see Ardbeg Galileo, which
within almost 2 years
doubled in price, or
remained the same with
inflation. Very expensively
bought bottles are better
only if you extensively
involve the "Water of Life".
