Whiskies Blackadder's challenge, therefore, is to select and bottle only individual casks as naturally as possible. To ensure this we only give our whiskies a light filtration to remove any cask particles that may otherwise get into the bottle. Blackadder Raw Cask whiskies, however, are completely unfiltered. Each cask is chosen to represent one of the very best examples of its type and age. Because we have not filtered out the suspended fats which can cause cloudiness and sedimentation in the bottle under certain temperature conditions, our whiskies may appear slightly cloudy or "milky". To heighten your enjoyment of all these exceptionally fine single malt whiskies, we suggest that you add a small quantity of water to the spirit.
Loisirs Le topic du whisky qui ne vous prend pas en tourbe - Page 50 Du coup, suite à la même question d'au dessus que j'avais posté ici peu avant les fêtes, j'ai fini par acheter une bouteille de Monkey Shoulder et j'ai goûté, mais rien à faire, autant j'adore le rhum, autant j'ai eu vraiment du mal à apprécier le goût du whiskey... J'imagine qu'on s'habitue (je détestais l'alcool fort il n'y a pas si longtemps), mais l'approche est difficile, j'ai l'impression que c'est plus simple quand on vient du monde du whiskey et qu'on s'initie au rhum en commençant par des rhums vieillis par exemple dans des futs de bourbon. Non mais je dis pas qu'il faut pas le goûter hein, même si tu débutes c'est un très bon rhum, donc si tu aimes le rhum (si tu arrives à apprécier le goût d'un alcool fort et les saveurs d'un rhum agricole qui est très floral et fruité, alors que les rons hispaniques sont plus neutres et les rums anglais sont plus lourds et avec des saveurs très différentes), j'imagine que la bouteille passe crème.
Whisky Whisky "on the rocks" (with ice). Whisky is a strictly regulated spirit worldwide with many classes and types. The typical unifying characteristics of the different classes and types are the fermentation of grains, distillation, and aging in wooden barrels. Etymology[edit] The word whisky (or whiskey) is an anglicisation of the Gaelic word uisce/uisge meaning water. Names and spellings[edit] Much is made of the word's two spellings: whisky and whiskey.[3][4] There are two schools of thought on the issue. The spelling whisky is generally used in Canada, Japan, Scotland, England, and Wales—while whiskey is more common in Ireland and the United States. "Scotch" is the internationally recognized term for "Scotch whisky". History[edit] James IV of Scotland (r. 1488–1513) reportedly had a great liking for Scotch whisky, and in 1506 the town of Dundee purchased a large amount of whisky from the Guild of Surgeon Barbers, which held the monopoly on production at the time. Production[edit] Aging[edit]
Chill filtering Chill filtering is a method in whisky making for removing residue.[1] In chill filtering, whisky is cooled to between -10° and 4° Celsius (often roughly 0°) and passed through a fine adsorption filter. This is done mostly for cosmetic reasons – to remove cloudiness, rather than to improve taste or consistency. Method[edit] Chill filtering prevents the whisky from becoming hazy when in the bottle, when served, when chilled, or when water or ice is added, as well as precluding sedimentation from occurring in the bottles. Chill filtering works by reducing the temperature sufficiently that some fatty acids, proteins and esters (created during the distillation process) precipitate out so that they are caught on the filter. Factors affecting the chill filtering process include the temperature, number of filters used, and speed at which the whiskey is passed through the filters. Examples[edit] References[edit]
Exclusive Preview: Lost Spirits Distillery Seascape Peated American Whiskey | Drinkhacker.com It isn’t every day we get to write about a product before anyone else on the planet.

Up next: Lost Spirits’ Leviathan I, a 110 ppm mega-peat whiskey, plus expressions with more age on them. B+ / $50 (est.) / lostspirits.net Similar Posts:
Talisker - Scotch whisky distillery profile 1) There are approximately 800 islands surrounding the mainland of Scotland, only 130 of which are inhabited. Skye is one of the largest of those islands - and of course it is inhabited. 2) Until 1928 triple distillation was used at the Talisker distillery. 3) Despite the relatively isolated location on a Northern island, Talisker is Diageo's most visited distillery. 4) Talisker distillery doesn't have its own maltings facility, so all the malted barley needs to be shipped in from the mainland. 5) Talisker was part of Diageo's original series of six 'Classic Malts', together with Cragganmore, Dalwhinnie, Glenkinchie, Lagavulin and Oban. Talisker 30yo Limited Edition (57.3%, OB, Bottle #0426 of 2958, Bottled 2010) Nose: Rich and quite sweet at cask strength with lots of subtleties. Talisker NAS '57° North' (57%, OB, 2010) Nose: Lightly peaty with some citrus in the background. Talisker 10yo (45.8%, OB, Bottled +/- 2009) Nose: Fruity and sweaty.
iBooks Author: Multi-Touch Book Creation With a Big Catch While it’s no secret that iBooks hasn’t been a runaway success as Apple had hoped, the company is trying their hand at revolutionizing the book industry once more -but this time they’ve shifted their efforts towards the education market. Along with the new iBooks 2, Apple introduced iBooks Author, their simplistic, yet feature-rich solution for creating textbooks, cookbooks, and just about any other kind of book, for the iPad. In making the app both user-friendly and free, Apple is clearly striving to make publishing available “for the rest of us”. Although the app is free, many will argue that the price of staying within the Apple ecosystem is too high for the budding author. Interface The iBooks Author interface should be familiar to most Mac users. Anyone familiar with the look and feel of the iWork suite of apps should feel right at home in iBooks Author. Writing your Book Historically, publishing an ebook was no easy task. Designing your Book Adding Widgets Publishing your Book
