Introduction
You’ve explored the idea of making your own beer and shot down the notion of wine just as soon as it cropped up. Your tastes demand something bolder, richer and stronger. You’re a scotch lover and nothing is going to change that. After all, there is nothing quite like drinking a smooth shot of scotch after a long day to warm the body from toes to soul. Perhaps the only thing that might compare is actually being able to boast that the shot in question came from your own private reserve; one you created with your own hands.
Just imagine kicking back after a long day and savoring the flavors of your own private stock. Picture your friends’ delight when you are able to share a bottle of one of the rarest stocks in the world – a stock of your own creation!
It is possible to make your own scotch whisky, crafted specifically to meet your discriminating tastes. The spirit of kings and the pride of Scotland, scotch is not technically difficult to create, but it does demand a careful hand and the patience of a saint.
Instant gratification, however, is not something that comes with creating a full bodied, rich flavored scotch. It can take weeks to prepare the ingredients and fully bring a scotch whisky through the distillation process. Once that’s done, there is still much waiting involved with maturation. In fact, the longer you wait before you break open a cask, the better the scotch is likely to be!
If you are looking for a do-it-yourself project that offers fast rewards, making scotch might not be for you. But, since you’re a scotch lover, you know that good things come to those who wait. Take your time, study up on scotch, identify the traits you like in your own favorite brand and try to replicate them and you might discover the rewards of making your own scotch far outweigh the time involved in doing so.
Keep in mind that the Scotch worked long and hard to perfect this warming liquor and to bring honor to its name. When you follow the rules they’ve established along the way, you can produce your own casks with flavors smooth enough to rival the imports. You just won’t be able to call it scotch.
Technically, that name is legally reserved for whiskies that are produced in Scotland, aged in Scotland and made in accordance with laws in the United Kingdom. The English and Irish aren’t even allowed to call their whisky scotch, believe it or not!
In this book we will teach you the ins and outs of creating your own scotch whisky at home. We will also discuss this history of this storied liquor and what exactly makes it so special.
Before we dive into the steps you’ll need to complete to create your own stock, we’ll also go over the different types of scotch and what makes them unique. It is important to realize that not all scotch is alike. Understand the type you prefer and you will have a better chance of replicating or even improving upon the flavor of your favorite brand. For home purposes, however, most people delve into single malt and single grain varieties, and that’s where our focus will go, as well.
Mastering the creation of your own scotch does call for specialized equipment. We will go into the high-tech products out there designed to help you along the way. We will also delve into some low-tech, and often more affordable, tools you can make on your own. The production process is one that requires meticulous attention to detail. Skip no steps and exercise patience along the way and you may soon find yourself sipping on a drink of your own making.
To your health!
A History Of Scotch
Uisge beatha,
the water of life, whisky; no matter what you call it, scotch is a liquor with a long and fabled past. Although it is said the Irish first created this drink, the credit for perfecting it does go to Scottish distillers. As we’ve said, there are even laws to prove it!
The history of scotch is said to date hundreds, if not thousands, of years in the past. The tradition of distilling liquor might indeed date back to ancient Celts, but the first taxation of this product didn’t arrive until the 1600s. This tax, however, led to a clandestine revolt in which many illegal distilleries cropped up. It is said that there were some 400 illegal distilleries in Scotland by 1780 and only eight that operated within the law. The number of illegal distilleries does, however, speak to the importance of this drink even back in the 1700s!
Commercial production of scotch is a long-standing tradition in Scotland. It dates back more than 300 years. Some modern distilleries, in fact, can boast
