At the moment, both of these countries are the largest suppliers of quality whiskey to the world market. And that's despite the fact that whiskey is made in many other countries, including Japan, Canada and the USA.
So what is whiskey? Real whiskey is a very strong spirit, with an alcohol content of up to 50%. Whiskey is usually made from various grains: wheat, rye, barley, even corn. Whiskey necessarily goes through distillation and malting. After that, whiskey is usually aged in barrels made of oak.
Sugar
is either not added to whiskey at all, or added only in very small amounts. Translated from three languages at once — Celtic, Gaelic and Irish — the word "whiskey" means "water of life".
Whiskey is divided into four classes:
The first class is malt whiskey, made from barley malt.
The second class is grain whiskey, which, as you can guess from the name, is made from various grains.
The third class is blended whiskey — that is, a combination — grain whiskey mixed with malt whiskey.
The fourth class of whiskey is bourbon, which is made from corn and produced only in the USA.
Whiskey, like any alcoholic drink, can become part of any dish. As a rule, that dish is most often
baking
or a
cocktail
. That said, whiskey is also added to the famous
Irish coffee
. The question of
how to drink whiskey
will be answered in the USA and Europe. Since the vast majority of popular movie characters drink exclusively
whiskey and soda
or straight whiskey, without any additives.
