A Little Something About Whiskey

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 wonderful drink for many occasions. Many weddings favour whiskey, as the bride and groom often toast each other to signify their relationship will stand the test of time, just like whiskey has. Ceremonial events have whiskey as the drink for their toasting occasions. Friends will use whiskey to toast each other as a sign of friendship.

Several varieties of whiskey are available on the market today. In America the most popular one consumed is Wild Turkey and Jack Daniels. They are available for purchase in grocery outlets and some department stores. The drink is served throughout bars and restaurant and served with ice, water or coke, depending on the individual choice of the consumer.

Ireland also has quality whiskey. Jameson's Irish whiskey was established in Dublin in 1780. It has been distilled three times to give it a smoother taste. Tullamore Dew, established in 1820 in Tullamore County, Offaly, is a favourite to use in the making of Irish coffee.

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.

It is an excellent gift for friends and business acquaintances, and will keep for many years, Improving with age.
