Whiskey - a famous noble drink, the birthplace of which is Scotland. One of the variants of its name is
Scotch (scotch) and is translated "Scottish". It is made from alcohols made from cereals, as well as water and fresh yeast, and then kept in special barrels of oak and cherry for a certain number of years. Of course, Scotland does not hold a monopoly on the production of this drink. Currently, the main countries producing whiskey are the United States, Japan, Canada and several others. One of the popular American brands is
Jack Daniels whiskey. All about this drink - information from the manufacturer, types, as well as the most correct method of its use, read in our article. Just remember that this is a fairly strong drink, it contains up to 45% alcohol, therefore, its excessive use can harm your health.
How to make Jack Daniel's whiskey?
The manufacturer of this drink is one of the oldest in the United States and has been producing whiskey since 1865. Founder Jasper Newton Daniel has developed a special production technology, which is still kept in the strictest confidence. Therefore, connoisseurs of this napik especially note its mild taste and very high quality, which is achieved by special filtration, as well as aging in barrels of burnt white oak. The main components for making Jack Daniel's whiskey are corn grains, barley, wheat and water. Like any manufacturer, the company produces several varieties of the drink, which vary in degree of maturation. For example, bottles with a green label have a strength of exactly 40 degrees. This type is called "early" because the barrels with it are traditionally stored on the upper floors of the warehouse and the drink ripens before the classic "Jack". The most popular variety is with a black and white label, it is already stronger (43 degrees). Barrels with it are located on the lower floors, its maturation takes a little longer, and the taste and aroma are traditional, with floral and light chocolate shades. One way or another, all whiskeys are aged for 4 years - just as much drink is stored in oak barrels before bottling with a capacity of 700 ml. Sometimes you can come across an unusual volume of Jack Daniels. 1 liter of whiskey is also available, as well as collection bottles - up to 5 liters. Until the 70s of the last century, the company produced whiskey and longer aging - up to 25 years, but after this practice was abandoned.
How to drink Jack Daniel's whiskey ?
This drink is not in vain called noble. Ideally, he does not tolerate the addition of any other ingredients, with the possible exception of ice. This is a very popular brand, so visitors to bars and restaurants often prefer Jack Daniels. Whiskey, the price of which is quite high (about 1500-2000 rubles per bottle with a black and white label), requires a special attitude. The drink cannot be cooled below 20 degrees, otherwise it will not fully reveal its taste and aroma, and various additives (such as Coca-Cola) only “clog” the shades of the drink, giving, in fact, only a sufficiently high alcohol content in it. Therefore, when planning to enjoy Jack, take the bottle out of the minibar in advance, warm up a slightly low glass in your hands, inhale the aroma of flowers and chocolate and drink in small sips. Indeed, this is what true connoisseurs have been doing for the past 150 years.
