Whisky
The subject of whisky can easily become a fascination: the source of the barley, the way it is malted, the water supply and the shape of the stills all influence the flavour of the spirit, and that is before the type of oak and conditions in which it is matured are determined!
Scotland is arguably the home of whisky spawning the nickname ‘Scotch’, although Irish and Welsh whiskies should not be overlooked. Whilst on the subject of whisky, Bourbon should get a mention with it’s home in Kentucky and don’t forget Canadian Club, a heavier style of whisky made exclusively from rye.
