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 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.

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.

There are many varieties of whiskey throughout the world. The ones favoured in America are mainly Jack Daniels and Wild Turkey. They are served throughout America in many bars and restaurants. Some drink it straight some have it on the rocks while others mix it with coke. It is all a personal choice as to the consumption of it.

Scotland have many distilleries that make an excellent drop of whiskey. They vary from Glenfiddich, which in Gaelic means "Valley of The Dear"" and the distillery whose origins go back to 1886 is situated in the Scotland Highlands. Then there is Black Douglas, Johnny Walker, which is possibly the most popular of all. It comes in different coloured labels, from red to black and to blue. Blue is one of the smoothest whiskies available. The late Queen Victoria and the late King Edward favoured Ballantines Scotch whisky, which is distilled in Dumbarton Scotland.

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".
