Exploring the World of Whiskey
The whiskey world is rife with various styles and brands, so knowing where to begin an exploration can be overwhelming. Allow the experts at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits to provide a short primer on all of your options, and we’ll be happy to help with further guidance when you stop in at one of our locations.
Bourbon
Our suggestion – Wild Turkey 101
Many American whiskeys are bourbons, younger than Scotch whiskies but no less mature. They’re generally sweet and smooth, with notes of vanilla. Bourbon is an excellent first foray into whiskey because of its appeal to the everyman.
Wild Turkey 101 is a Kentucky bourbon with 50.5% ABV, made from barley, corn, and rye. This well-balanced whiskey has notes of sweet toffee and vanilla and is aged for at least five years in American White Oak barrels.
Tennessee Whiskey
Our suggestion – Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey begins in the same form as bourbon. However, Tennessee whiskey must also fulfill the requirements of the Lincoln County Process, which requires that Tennessee Whiskeys be:
- Made in the state of Tennessee
- Filtered through a thick layer of charcoal made of sugar maple
- Made through the sour mash process.
Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey has 40% ABV and is made from corn, rye, and barley malt mixed with iron-free water from the Cave Spring.
American Rye Whiskey
Our suggestion – Templeton Rye Whiskey
American whiskey with at least 51% rye and aged in oak barrels can be referred to as rye whiskey. These whiskeys are usually spicier than the typically sweet American whiskey.
Templeton Rye Whiskey, bottled in Templeton, Iowa, has 40% ABV with caramel, silky, and smooth nots with flavors of butterscotch and caramel.
Irish Whiskey
Our suggestion – Jameson Irish Whiskey
Whiskey made in Ireland is Irish whiskey and usually has a smoother finish than Scotch whisky.
Jameson Irish Whiskey has 40% ABV and is distilled three times for superb smoothness. Unique and balanced with spice, nuttiness, and vanilla, this whiskey promises to take you on a journey.
Canadian Whisky
Our suggestion – Crown Royal Canadian Whisky
Most Canadian whiskies are blended with several different types of grain, usually with a significant amount of corn. Canadian distillers often add rye to the mash to the degree that Canadian whisky and rye whisky are used to refer to the same thing by Canadians.
Crown Royal Canadian Whisky has 40% ABV, a rich dose of vanilla and fruity aromas, a subtle, smooth palate with oaky and vanilla notes, and a long finish.
Scotch Whisky
Our suggestion – Johnnie Walker
Malt, grain, or blended whiskey made in Scotland, Scotch whisky comes in five categories:
- Single malt Scotch whisky
- Single grain Scotch whisky
- Blended malt Scotch whisky
- Blended grain Scotch whisky
- Blended Scotch whisky.
Johnnie Walker Black, Red, and Blue Label offer various levels of smoky and rich flavors.
