| Like scotch, Irish whiskey is made from barley and water but unlike scotch, the malted and unmalted barley used to make Irish whiskey is dried in smokeless kilns rather than over peat fires. The barley, malted and unmalted, is ground up with other cereal grains such as rye, wheat and corn and mixed with water. The mixture is put into huge tanks and cooked after which the liquid is cooled and yeast added. After fermentation has occured, the mash is fermented three times in large pot stills and the resulting raw spirit is placed in oak casks and allowed to age from four to fifteen years. The matured whiskies are sampled and tested, reduced to 40 % alc./vol. and then rest for a time before bottling. The result is a whiskey that is full bodied, smooth and mellow with a distinctive barley malt flavour. Best known as the essential ingredient in Irish Coffee, Irish whiskey is excellent on the rocks with a bit of water, with soda and other mixers and as the base of a wide variety of cocktails. |
