How to Distinguish Bourbon, Scotch, and Irish Whiskey
Whiskey is a general category for all scotch, bourbon and Irish whiskey. All are made in similar fashions with varying percentages of the same staples: barley, corn and rye. After the mash is made, the whiskey is aged in oak casks for years to add flavor, color, and depth.
Instructions
-
Scotch is a whisky made in Scotland and is imparted with a distinctive peat flavor. The Scots use peat to heat the mash to boiling temperatures.
-
Bourbon is American whiskey that is made up of sour mash (a blend of new batch mash with previously made mash). More caramel spice flavors come out of bourbon than other types of whiskies.
-
Irish whiskey is made in Ireland and typically unpeated. It is usually distilled three times (one more time than its Scottish and American counterparts).
