Understanding American Whiskey
American whiskey is celebrated for its varied styles and complex production methods. Here’s what makes American whiskey distinct:
- Bourbon Whiskey: Characterized by its rich, sweet flavour, bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels. Kentucky is renowned for its bourbon, due to the unique natural filter of limestone water which imparts a distinct flavour.
- Rye Whiskey: Made from at least 51% rye, this whiskey is spicier and more robust than bourbon.
- Tennessee Whiskey: Similar to bourbon but must be made in Tennessee and filtered through charcoal before aging, known as the Lincoln County Process.
- Rye Malt Whiskey: Crafted from at least 51% malted rye, offering a smoother, maltier version of traditional rye whiskey.
- Wheat Whiskey: Made primarily from wheat, this whiskey is softer and milder than those made from corn or rye.
- Corn Whiskey: Must contain at least 80% corn in its mash, typically unaged and offering a raw, intense corn flavour.
- Malt Whiskey: Made mostly from malted barley, not commonly associated with American whiskey but growing in production.
- Sour Mash: A process used in many types of American whiskey to maintain consistency and control over acidity levels during fermentation.
American Whiskey vs. Other Whiskeys
- Irish Whiskey vs. American Whiskey: Irish whiskey is generally triple distilled for a smoother taste, while American whiskey varies widely in flavour based on its specific type and production process.
- Scotch vs. American Whiskey: Scotch, especially single malt, is made from malted barley and typically has a smoky flavour from peat. American whiskey can be made from a variety of grains and usually features a sweeter profile due to the high corn content, particularly in bourbon.
