	Whisky - LoveToKnow 1911
		Whether the term whisky to denote a plain type of spirit was used concurrently with usquebaugh, or whether the latter name covered both varieties, is not clear.
		Scotch whiskies may be broadly divided into two main groups, namely (a) pot-still or malt whiskies, and (b) patent-still or grain whiskies; the former are made practically without exception from malted barley only, the latter from a mixture of malted barley and other unmalted cereals, chiefly rye, oats and maize (see Spirits).
		The general run of Irish pot-still whiskies are made with 30 to 50% of malted barley, the balance being rye, oats, unmalted barley and wheat.

		The resulting blended whisky proved to be milder and more acceptable to foreign consumers, particularly the English, who turned to Scotch whisky in the 1870s when a phylloxera infestation in the vineyards of Europe disrupted supplies of Cognac and Port—two of the mainstays of civilized living.
		Malt whisky distilleries were bought up by blending companies and their output was blended with grain whiskies to create the great blended brands that have come to dominate the market.
		Traditional Islay malt whiskies are intensely smoky and pungent in character with a distinctive iodine or medicinal tang that is said to come from sea salt permeating the local peat that is used to dry the barley malt.

	Whisky Information
		Whisky (or whiskey) is the name for a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from grains and are subsequently aged in oak casks.
		The term Malt whisky is reserved for a whisky made from 100% malted barley; malt whisky is distilled using an onion-shaped pot still; malt whisky from one distillery is called single malt whisky to distinguish it from blended whiskies.
		Grain whisky differs from malt in that it is usually made from corn/maize or other grains rather than malted barley, and distilled in continuous distillation process stills known as Coffey stills instead of the pot still used for quality whisky.

	Whisky Production
		This kind of whisky is made to reduce the flavour astringent enough of some Single Malt by adding of Single Malt with a milder taste which also increases the presence of different aromas.
		Grain Whisky is subjected to the constant distillation by means of the distillation's apparatus Coffey and, as a rule, it is less matured.
		Once the blender has selected his single whiskies, he will nose them as new spirit fresh from the stills, to ensure they are up to required standard, and will continue to nose them throughout maturation until he is content that they should be taken forward.

	David Tall’s Favourite Tipple
		By whisky, I mean malt whisky, the water of life, made in Scotland from barley, allowed to grow for a few days on the floor of a malting room to turn starch in the barley into sugar, which is dissolved in hot water and allowed to cool.
		It is then kept in wooden casks and the flavour of the whisky derives from the peat in the original water and the flavour of the wood.
		The old style peating is being emulated, the whisky is given longer in its brewing and distilling to allow the flavours arising to return to their former glory.

		Oswald reports that current thinking among corporate distillers is to downplay the mystique of Scottish whiskies (their selling point for generations) and play up the taste, but with island malts, surely, mystique and taste are tantalizingly interwoven.
