Learn how to differentiate between Top Indian
Whisky Brands

• Over the past many years the whisky-drinking
  world has seen a revolution.
• It has been introduced to many new products which
  claim to create high-quality liquor in only a
  fraction of the time that is generally required
  to age single malt spirits.
• Top Indian Whisky brands age their distillate
  extensively in oak barrels and some add flavors
  like vanilla and butterscotch to it too.

Whisky innovation

• As global whisky consumption increases, new
  ageing techniques have started emerging.
• Though the taste measures up, it does not
  necessarily make it equal to fine aged malt.
• Recent innovation in this field in single malts
  and premium scotch whisky have been astounding.
  It uses a patented combination of both light and
  heat to speed up the ageing process.
• Creating whiskeys in high-pressure stainless
  steel tanks by mixing the spirits with new wood
  combinations are a great thing too.
• It creates unique flavours within days. Some
  manufacturers even use stereo speakers to get
  their barrels thoroughly vibrating!

Whisky testing

• A single malt spirit has a particular chemical
  composition and flavour which is very much
  identical to a 10-year-old whisky. Prior to
  testing the validity of such a claim, one must
  review how brown liquors must be made.
• The chemistry of making spirits spans certain
  standard steps even for the best Indian scotch
  whisky brands.
• Whiskies are available in varied types such as
  scotch, bourbon and rye, but they are all
  essentially manufactured within just three basic
  ingredients such as water, grain and yeast.

Whisky production

• The common grains used are barley, wheat, rye or
  corn.
• Certain spirits are subject to particular
  regulations.
• Scotch whisky must be produced from malted
  barley, which must be made from at least 51
  corn.
• The major step is to germinate the grain in water
  which releases enzymes that break down starches
  in the grain into sugars. This process is put to
  a halt by drying, and the malt which is the
  germinated grain is collected far before the
  sugars are dissolved in water.

• Yeast is also used that converts the sugars to
  alcohol. As this stage comes to an end, the brew
  contains approximately 8 alcohol.
• The step that follows is distillation in which
  different alcohols are separated and the fraction
  that has ethanol is collected.
• This process is generally repeated until this
  fraction contains 70 ethanol, water, and a rich
  amalgamation of chemicals. Some of the Best
  whisky in India are produced in this manner!
