at your next dinner party or barbeque.
1.
You
may have noticed that whisky can be spelled one of two ways. “Whisky” is used
to describe whisky from Scotland and Canada, and “whiskey” is used everywhere
else.
2.
A
whisky’s color comes directly from the wooden cask that it is stored in.
Originally clear, the color develops over time through the aging process. The
cask also affects the whisky’s flavor.
3.
There
are over five thousand types of whisky in the world today. So many flavors, so
little time!
4.
The
oldest whisky ever is a bottle of Glenavon Special Liqueur Whiskey, according
to Guinness World Records. It was bottled sometime between 1851 and 1858!
5.
There
are five regional whiskies: Scotch whisky, Canadian whisky, Irish whiskey,
Tennessee whiskey, and Kentucky bourbon.
6.
Ninety
percent of single malt whisky comes directly from Scotland.
7.
Whisky
means “water of life” in Gaelic. Drink to your health!
8.
Whisky
production is an eco-friendly process. Distilleries offload their corn and
grain pulp excess to dairy farms for livestock feed.
9.
Although
we doubt you will wait this long to find out, a bottle of opened whisky can
stay good for up to five years.
10. The most expensive bottle of whisky
ever sold was a Macallan “M” whisky that went for $628,205 at an auction in
Hong Kong!
