Frequently asked questions about whisky
-
What is whisky?
Whisky is a spirit obtained by distilling a grain mash, which must contain a proportion of malted grain. The whisky distilling process can take place in pot stills or columns. The resulting distillate (new make) is subjected to a maturation process in wooden barrels containing a maximum of 700 litres for at least three years. Neither neutral alcohol nor flavors may be added to whisky. The only additive permitted is sugar syrup (food-grade caramel) to adjust the colour.
N.B.: Some different legal regulations apply to whisky outside Europe.

Where does whisky come from?
Whisky is produced worldwide and is increasingly popular. Whisky is a traditional part of the cultural heritage in Scotland, Ireland and some US Federal states (Kentucky, Tennessee).
A distillate of alcohol is mentioned for the first time in the Scottish Exchequer Rolls of 1494. Nowadays whisky is produced in more than 100 distilleries spread across five Scottish regions (Highlands, Speyside, Lowlands, Islay and Campbeltown). Whilst grain whisky is distilled in large columns using the continuous method, the production method specifies pot stills to give malt Scotch whisky its character. This process subjects a malted barley mash to a double distillation.
Bourbon whisky (or whiskey) is produced exclusively in the USA. The mash must contain at least 51% corn and it is mandatory for the maturation process to take place in new, previously unused barrels.
