How To Make Your Own Great Tasting Whisky And Scotch! - Courtney Clover
I. Introduction
Whisky, also spelled whiskey (depending on the country of origin), is a type of alcohol made from grain mash that has been fermented. Grains such as barley, wheat, rye, and corn are used to create different types of whisky. The alcohol is then aged in wooden casks traditionally made from white oak. Whisky is produced in many countries around the world and its taste, as well as alcohol content, changes in relation to the techniques used for distillation, aging, and the type of grains used.
It is believed that the technique used for distillation originated in Mesopotamia during the 2nd millennium BC. Distillation was used at the time to create perfumes. Distillation was used by other cultures, including the Greeks, during the 1st century AD and the Arabs during the Middle Ages. The earliest known instance of distillation used to make alcohol dates back to the 13th century. Italian monasteries would use this technique to create wine. The first record of distillation being used to make grain alcohol dates back to 1405 in Ireland. The first instance of Scotch, or whisky manufactured in Scotland, dates back to 1494.
Distillation has been improved and perfected over the centuries. Whisky and Scotch used to be very potent beverages. These drinks became a lot smoother as dilution became a more common practice. In 1823, the UK government passed the Excise Act which legalized the production of moonshine. The popularity of homemade whisky grew throughout the 20th century and eventually spread to the United States during the 1920s due to the sale of alcohol being banned under the Prohibition.
Making your own whisky or Scotch is relatively simple, but you need to exercise caution. There are some legal regulations regarding producing moonshine and you need to make sure that distilling your own moonshine is allowed in the area where you live. You also need to follow a few basic guidelines to prevent accidents and to avoid producing a beverage that could be hazardous to your health.
Producing your own whisky or Scotch is not necessarily cheaper than purchasing alcohol, but it allows you to create an alcohol that suits your taste. Making moonshine is a long-standing American tradition that you might wish to experience. Your friends and relatives will also get a kick out of drinking the alcohol you have made yourself. If it is legal to produce moonshine in your area, you should definitely try making your own whisky or Scotch just to get a better understanding of how your favorite alcohol beverages are made.
Making moonshine is fairly easy, but producing quality whisky or Scotch might require some practice. You can improve your chances of ending up with a quality product by selecting the best ingredients, investing in the right equipment, and storing the alcohol properly. The following guide will provide you with the information you need to make your own great tasting whisky or Scotch.
II. The Different Types of Whiskies and Scotches
There are two main types of whisky that differ in taste and quality. First is malt whisky, which gets its name from the malted barley used to produce it. Malted
