This very sweet liquid is fermented by the addition of Yeast and the result of this fermentation is a type of beer (or “wash” as it’s known in the distilleries). The Malt is milled and mashed through the addition of hot water to give us a porridge-like mixture from which we extract the liquid. When making Malt whiskey we use 100% Malted Barley. We now have a barley grain that has germinated or malted. This growth process is stopped by removal from the water. Malted Barley is simply barley that has been germinated by means of immersion in water so as to encourage the barley grain to grow a green shoot. Single Malt Whiskey is whiskey - made from Malted Barley - 100% Malted Barley (sometimes called Malt). The Scotch whisky historians dedicated to tracking the arrival of whisky distillation will readily refer to the influential Irishman Fergus Beaton who introduced whisky-making to Scotland on arrival at Kilchoman on the island of Isla in 1300.īefore we compare Single Malt with Blended Whiskey we need to understand what makes them different. The Scots were soon to be introduced to the craft and began producing their own version. Pronunciation of this term was difficult for the non-natives and so it soon became reduced to Fuisce and eventually Whiskey. As they sought to bring Christianity from the Middle East to the pagan countries of the globe they managed to impart their knowledge of the craft of producing perfumes and essences from locally grown flora to the locals who sound found that this very craft could produce an elixir with no equal – so they called it the Water of Life – or Uisce Beatha. On the other hand, what we know today as Whiskey, Whisky or Uisce Beatha is generally regarded as having started in Ireland. It’s been going on for thousands of years across the globe. Distilling of locally grown agricultural to produce alcohol is something that is not peculiar to Ireland. Uisce Beatha or Water of Life has been distilled in Ireland for many centuries and possibly even for millennia. In the craft world of IPA beer you often see recommendations for drinking the beer at room temperature so that one can appreciate the flavour. Speaking of beer, sometimes the lesser flavoured beers are recommended to be consumed at very cold temperatures.The implication here is that if something is very cold some of the flavours are muted or less detectable. There are always worthwhile considerations but there are no rules.Ī bartender once said that - " ice to a bar man is like heat to a chef." Ice has a wonderful ability to chill the drink and allow for slow dilution which can actually enhance the flavours of the whiskey.We will get into that more in a minute.It has the added benefit of making the drink last longer which may sound strange but is surprisingly common especially if you are trying to keep pace with fellow drinkers who are sipping a large beer.
The answer here will always be that it is completely up to you. Should I add water to my whiskey? Is it better to add ice? Which is better to add to my whiskey…ice or water? How much should I add? Is 3 cubes too many? These are common questions so don’t worry if you are asking the same questions. When we blend with other people and ideas, we become richer as individuals and in turn the world becomes a wiser, richer and more open place. What is true of our whiskey, we are a blend of 3 types of different Irish whiskeys, we also believe is true of humanity. is on a mission to encourage the world to blend. sponsored Poetry Slam competition in Germany in 2019. In the US, we worked with Elijah Genesis and in Germany we collaborated with Friedrich Hermann. Shot by the acclaimed director Valentin Petit through Division Paris, the brand enlisted the help of up & coming MC artists and poets, asking them to express their own unique interpretation of the power of blend.
Our work extols the virtues of blending, of breaking down barriers, of embracing and celebrating the beauty of us.
We believe the blending of cultures, thoughts & ideas makes the world infinitely more interesting, creative and inclusive. As the original triple blend Irish whiskey, Tullamore D.E.W.
