Description:
You've explored the idea of making your beer and shot down the notion of wine just as soon as it cropped up. Your tastes demand something bolder, richer, and stronger. You're a scotch lover and nothing is going to change that. After all, there is nothing quite like drinking a smooth shot of scotch after a long day to warm the body from the toes to the soul. Perhaps the only thing that might compare is being able to boast that the shot in question came from your private reserve; one you created with your own hands.
Just imagine kicking back after a long day and savoring the flavors of your private stock. Picture your friends' delight when you can share a bottle of one of the rarest stocks in the world - a stock of your creation!
It is possible to make your scotch whisky, crafted specifically to meet your discriminating tastes. The spirit of kings and the pride of Scotland, scotch is not technically difficult to create, but it does demand a careful hand and the patience of a saint.
Instant gratification, however, is not something that comes with creating a full-bodied, rich-flavored scotch. It can take weeks to prepare the ingredients and fully bring a scotch whisky through the distillation process. Once that's done, there is still much waiting involved with maturation. In fact, the longer you wait before you break open a cask, the better the scotch is likely to be!
If you are looking for a do-it-yourself project that offers fast rewards, making scotch might not be for you. But, since you're a scotch lover, you know that good things come to those who wait. Take your time, study up on scotch, identify the traits you like in your favorite brand and try to replicate them and you might discover the rewards of making your scotch far outweigh the time involved in doing so.
Keep in mind that the Scotch worked long and hard to perfect this warming liquor and to bring honor to its name. When you follow the rules they've established along the way, you can produce your casks with flavors smooth enough to rival the imports. You just won't be able to call it "scotch." Technically, that name is legally reserved for whiskies that are produced in Scotland, aged in Scotland, and made by laws in the United Kingdom. The English and Irish aren't even allowed to call their whisky scotch, believe it or not!
In this book, we will teach you the ins and outs of creating your scotch whisky at home. We will also discuss the history of this storied liquor and what exactly makes it so special.
Before we dive into the steps you'll need to complete to create your stock, we'll also go over the different types of scotch and what makes them unique. It is important to realize that not all scotch is alike. Understand the type you prefer and you will have a better chance of replicating or even improving upon the flavor of your favorite brand. For home purposes, however, most people delve into single malt and single grain varieties, and that's where our focus will go, as well.
Mastering the creation of your scotch does call for specialized equipment. We will go into the high-tech products out there designed to help you along the way. We will also delve into some low-tech, and often more affordable, tools you can make on your own. The production process requires meticulous attention to detail. Skip no steps and exercise patience along the way and you may soon find yourself sipping on a drink of your own making.
To your health!
