the making of whisky

We can make whisky with different maneer .
It depend of your skill , what sort of whisky do you want to do , and in particular to the geographical origin of production. The main differences are related to the raw material, which is always a cereal, and on the type of distillation .
So it cant make different types of whisky corresponding to various definitions , the main sort of whisky are Blended whisky, Single Malt whisky and Grain whisky.
The better whisky are often isued from the distillation of malted barley .
For me , the best whisky is make with the Pure Malt , and the scottish make this very well ( it's call the scotch pure malt ) . I'll show you how to do this sort of whiskey , with the main step .

To produce a Malt Whisky, you need barley, water, yeast, heat and much time.
This process can be broken down in five main steps :

- Malting
- Milling
- Mashing
- Fermentation
- Distillation
- Ageing

I'll explain each steap at the next time !


to help you to understand and to work your vocabulary :

malted barley : orge maltée
yeast : levure
Malting : le maltage
Milling : le broyage
Mashing : le brassage
Ageing : le vieillissement

You should explain what's the difference between whyskey and the things we can find in supermarkets for ten euros ^^
My best friend offer me a bottle of 18 years old whyskey for my 21st birthday and I must admit I didn't know what was whyskey before sample it...

Naturally there are a lot of difference between the bottle you've got and the bottles you can buy cheaper in supermarket , but i think people who buy chepeast bottle it's to mix this with coca-cola , and then , they lost all the real taste of the "sky" . Each his tastes and each makes what he wants !!!!
