Whiskey Is Something That Everyone Should Enjoy

By Chris Carr


Whiskey has been a popular drink for many people for hundreds of years. The word Whiskey means "Water of Life", originated in Scotland in the early 1400's. It is made from fermented grain mash. Different types of grain are used, wheat, barley, rye and corn. And all will give an individually different flavour. Once it is distilled it is aged in white oak casks. The taste of the beverage hasn't changed very much since the beginning of manufacture. Some distillers have added a smokey flavour and others have distilled their whiskey more than once, sometimes three times. All these processes help refine the flavour for the discerning drinker.

Whiskey is a beverage that is used as a celebration for weddings, ceremonial occasions, and board room dealings. At a wedding, the bride and groom often toast each other with whiskey to signify that their relation will stand the test of time, as whiskey has done. Friends also confirm their friendship with a shot of whiskey. If imbibing in too much of the smooth liquor, one may have a feeling that they are "King of the World". However it is good to relax with a tot of whiskey to sooth the soul after a busy day.

Scotland is well known for its Johnny Walker Whiskey, that comes in red, black and blue labels. The blue label is an extremely smooth whiskey. The late Queen Victoria and the late King Edward favoured Ballantines Scotch Whiskey, that is distilled in Dumbarton Scotland. Glenfiddich Whiskey, which in Gaelic means" Valley of the Dear", was established in 1820 in the Highland of Scotland. It is a pure malt whiskey. The water used in the distilling of it comes from the local mountain stream, which is reported to be pure.

Scotland has many distilleries of whiskey. Johnny Walker is perhaps the most famous one of all. It is sold in red, black, blue and green labels. The Glenfiddich distillery can be found in the highlands of Scotland. It was established in 1820 and produces a pure malt whiskey. The name Glenfiddich means" Valley of the Deer "in Gaelic. Ballantines Scotch Whiskey was a favourite of the late Queen Victoria and The late King Edward, it is distilled in Dumbarton.

Connoisseurs of whiskey will say the best way to enjoy whiskey is to drink it straight and sip slowly to savour the mellow flavour. Others prefer "Scotch on the Rocks", which is simply whiskey over ice cubes. The "bite" of the scotch is not quite so harsh with this method.

Ireland too distils a fine drop of whiskey also. Jameson's Irish whiskey was established in 1780 at their distillery in Dublin. Another is Tullamore Dew which was established in 1820. Tullamore dew is favoured in the drink of Irish coffee. Connoisseurs of whiskey will say the best way to drink it is to have it straight and just sip it slowly so as to savour the mellow tones. Others prefer to pour it over ice cubes, commonly known as "scotch on the rocks". The ice cubes gradually melt so that the "bite" of the whiskey becomes smoother.

Whiskey has been used at executive board level for celebrating the signing of contracts. It is an excellent gift for friends and employees. A tot at the end of a busy day is an excellent way to relax and wind down. It helps to sooth the soul. However imbibing a little too much may give the false impression that you may be "The King Of The World".
