An Introduction To Single Malt Whisky (863 words) |
 | A whisky that is labelled generically "scotch" is blended and contains only 40 to 60% malt whisky with the remainder comprised of whisky made from cheaper unmalted grain. |
| The term whisky is a derivative of the expression "water of life" known in in Gaelic as "uisge (pronounced ooska) beatha." Over time uisge has been Anglicised to "whisky." The first whiskies were produced in the 15th century by monastic orders. |
| he malted barley is ground in a mill and is then referred to as "grist." The grist is loaded into a vessel called a mash tun and is warmed with water to 64°C. At this temperature the enzymes present in the malt convert the remaining starches into sugar. |
