About this deal
If you have any doughts about distilling in the UK here is the link for you to read https://www.gov.uk/guidance/spirits-duty The way we make Scotch whisky has evolved over several centuries, but the history of Scotch whisky embraces a much wider heritage; that of Scotland and its people. This again is a question which it is very difficult to answer with certainty. Most people would agree that the water used is the decisive factor. Adjoining distilleries which draw their water from different sources are known to produce whiskies that are quite dissimilar in flavour.
The newly distilled, colourless, fiery spirit reduced to maturing strength, 63% alcohol by volume, is filled into oak casks which may have previously contained Scotch whisky, bourbon or sherry, and the maturation process begins.If you prefer to experiment with a variety of stills and beverages then you can invest in any of these kits. They are all perfect for brewing a variety of beverages such as whiskey, scotch, rum, bourbon, tequila, vodka and can also be used to make essential oils. By nosing samples in tulip-shaped glasses the blender selects from a wide palate – from the numerous Highland and Speyside malts to the strongly flavoured and peaty Island malts, and the softer and lighter Lowland malts. These malts are combined with grain whiskies – usually 60-80% grain whiskies to 20-40% malt whiskies, and are then left to ‘marry’ in casks before being bottled as one of the world-renowned blended whiskies. Ever wanted to age your own bourbon or craft a signature single malt? Now you can. Our whiskey-making kit comes with 9 botanicals, including wood chips, fruit peel, spices and more, to infuse unique flavours into your own whiskey.
Scotch grain whisky is usually made from 10-20% malted barley and then other unmalted cereals such as maize or wheat. The starch in the non-malted cereals is released by pre-cooking and converted into fermentable sugars. The mashing and fermentation processes are similar to those used for malt whisky.
