Questions about Whiskey
What is the difference between whiskey and whisky?
They are two spellings for the same broad kind of distilled grain spirit. “Whiskey” is common for Irish and American spirits, while “whisky” is usual for Scotch, Canadian and Japanese spirits; the spelling alone does not tell you the full style.
Should you drink whiskey neat, with water or over ice?
Taste it neat first, then add a few drops of water if you want to open up the aroma. Large ice cubes melt more slowly than small ones, so they chill the drink with less dilution.
How should you store an opened bottle of whiskey?
Keep it tightly capped, upright and away from sunlight and heat; unlike wine, whiskey does not need to be stored on its side. An opened bottle stays at its best longer when there is less air in it, so consider transferring the remainder to a smaller clean bottle.
What goes into a whiskey sour?
Shake whiskey with fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup and ice, then strain into a glass. Many versions add egg white for a foamy top; shake first without ice, then shake again with ice to build the foam and chill the drink.
Can you use whiskey in cooking?
Yes: add a splash to a pan sauce for steak or pour it into a fruit cake mixture for a warm, woody note. Let it simmer in a sauce for a few minutes so the sharp alcohol aroma softens before serving.
Is bourbon the same as whiskey?
Bourbon is a type of American whiskey made primarily from corn and aged in new, charred oak barrels. Its flavour is often sweeter and more vanilla-like than many Scotch whiskies, which are made from malted barley and may have smoky or peaty notes.
How many calories are in a shot of whiskey?
A 42 g measure contains 105 kcal. Whiskey has very little carbohydrate, but mixers such as cola or sugar syrup add more.
