Few Things to know about Scotch
|
|
Every second someone is getting high on alcohol and its a fact out of that 80% or more are high on "wishkeys".
So these are the few things on Scotch, your fav drink (at least mine).
- Only wishkeys made & bottled in scotland are called "scotch".
- Different types of wishkeys are : Single mount, Grained, and blended.
Single Malted: manufactured by a single company with a single kind of barley or wheat.
Grained : made from diff types of grains like wheat, bajra...
Blended ; A perfect combinations of diff kind of whiskeys!!Now before you actually start enjoying your drink try to do the following to know more about your drink.
- See the color.
- Checkout the legs.
- Sense the Smell.
Colors of whiskeys are only bcos of the kind of wood used to made the
barrels for storing the whiskey's for years! Like Spanish oak
woods are very dark in color so will give the drink more reddish in color. Similarly if its a American oak wood, its very light in color
so will give a very light golden color.
LEGS : legs are those thin lines of whisky falling down the glass after
it was slightly tilted for a while. so if those legs takes a long time
to come down i.e that whisky has a very high percentage of alcohol and
can give u a hard kick.
Smell : everybody can smell diff things from diff scotchs as the
scotchs are stored in barrels it leaks something called fuisel oil
which is good in [how wude!]ing any smell around ...so if its smelling like
fruit i.e fruits where kept around those years!!
The type of scotch that one can try:
1. Smokey : Talisker (18yr, sold in india 7000rs), Lagavulin, Cool lla.
Very hard, long legs, men's drink, world's mostly drinked scotch, very
dark in colour, strong smokey smell bcos of the storage conditions.
2. Fresh fruits : Glenkinchie, Dalwhinnie, Glendullan(16yr).
Very fruitiest, lite golden colour, women's drink, very smooth, good sweet taste.
3. Fruits(mainly dry): Royal Lochnagar, Mortlach(26yr).
very dark colour, smells of diff kind of dry fruits, little bit hard than the previous one, minimum 26yr old.
4. Creamy Grained scotch : Cameron Brig, Port Dandus (16yrs).
Grained whisky, initially tastes sweet but turns bitter with time bcos
of the starch, golden colour, (dehydrates water from body), mainly made
of grains like wheat...
5. Johnny Walker black label :
Blended with 40 diff kind of whiskys, very smooth, golden shinny
colour, blended with whiskys of minimum of 12 years old whiskys to 42
years old whiskys.
Ofcourse, there is no end of variations in drinks. But yeah from these you will surely have an idea of what you are drinking. So i hope you will try to see the color, legs and smell it at least once whenever you are dinking. So lastly Cheers!!! Pls Don't Drink & Drive!!
(From the above i have tried the underlined ...they where dame good. But yeah my choice will be the JW as its available in india ;) )
