During a regular conversation with friends about this alcohol, the problem practically does not exist, because both words are pronounced the same. The problem arises when we have to write it down and we are facing the dilemma of how to correctly write the name of this drink. What’s the easiest way to distinguish between the two types? The secret is in the production site.
What is the difference between whisky and whiskey?
Whisky – the alcohol produced in Scotland, Canada and Japan. Additionally, whisky has a more peaty taste than whiskey – it should be distilled twice and kept in oak barrels for at least three years.
Whiskey – the alcohol produced mainly in the USA and Ireland. Americans make whiskey from corn, and Irish from barley malt.
Both whisky and whiskey are definitely suitable as a gift alcohol. One of thee most popular whiskies is Scottish Chivas.
The Chivas Regal has been hailed as “the first luxury Scottish blend” intended for the high society. Chivas whisky is characterized by a mild aroma with a noticeable vanilla cream, toffee, bananas, apples, and buttery croissants.
The taste includes notes such as vanilla, milk fudge, honey, sweet cereals, baked apples, oak bitterness.
Jameson can be an excellent example of whiskey. Jameson is the sales leader for Irish origin whiskey. It is mainly aged in American oak barrels. Jameson is characterized by aromas of pear, apple, plum, vanilla, hay and oak.
The taste includes cereals, caramel, vanilla pudding, cocoa, lemongrass and oak.
BURBON OR SCOTCH? WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
There is a fundamental difference between these two species in the distillation process. Bourbon is an American variant of whiskey with a corn content of at least 51%. Usually it is 70%, while the remaining grains are barley malt with wheat or rye. Another difference between the two drinks is the aging time. Scotch whisky is aged for three years. The aging time for the American bourbon is shorter, which is due to the higher maximum temperature and the greater temperature range.
