Scotch Whisky
Whisky is,in its most basic sense,a spirit that is distilled from grain.Sometimes the grain has been malted,sometimes not.It is aged,often for long periods of time,in wooden barrels (usually oak).This barrel-aging smoothes the rough palate of the raw spirit and adds aromatic and flavoring nuances along and the base amber hue,all of which set whiskies apart from white grain spirits such as Vodka,Gin and Aquavit,which are distilled closer to neutrality in taste,and then generally not aged in wood.
The basis of Scotch whisky is the heather-flavored ales made from barley malt that the Picts and their prehistoric ancestors brewed.Archeologists have found evidence of such brewing dating back to at least 2000 B.C.This ale (which is still produced today by at least one Scottish microbrewer) was low in alcohol and not very stable.
Starting in the ninth century,Irish monks arrived in Scotland to Christianize their Celtic brethren.Along with the Word of the Lord they brought the first primitive stills,which they had picked up during their proselytizing visits to mainland Europe during the Dark Ages.The local Picts soon found that they could create a stable alcoholic beverage by distilling their heather ale.Simple stills came to be found in most rural homesteads,and homemade whisky became an integral part of Gaelic culture.
