Questions about Whisky
How should you store whisky after opening?
Keep the bottle tightly closed, upright and away from heat and sunlight. Whisky does not spoil quickly, but air in a partly empty bottle can gradually dull its aroma.
Should you drink whisky neat, with water or over ice?
Neat whisky shows its full strength; a few drops of water can soften the alcohol and bring out aromas. Ice chills it and gradually dilutes it, so a large cube melts more slowly than small pieces.
What whisky works best in a Whisky Sour?
Bourbon gives the cocktail a sweeter, vanilla-rich flavour, while rye makes it spicier; blended Scotch also works. Shake the whisky with lemon juice and sugar syrup, then serve over ice.
Can you cook with whisky?
Yes: add a small splash to a pan sauce for steak, stir it into a marinade, or use it in fruit cake and desserts. Let it simmer in savoury dishes so the sharp alcohol aroma mellows.
Can whisky freeze in the freezer?
Most whisky stays liquid in a domestic freezer because its alcohol lowers its freezing point, though it becomes very cold and viscous. Chilling it this way can mute its aromas.
Why is it spelled whisky sometimes and whiskey other times?
The spelling without an “e” is commonly used for Scotch and Japanese whisky; “whiskey” is usual for Irish and American spirits. The convention has exceptions, so the spelling on the bottle is the clearest guide.
How much whisky is a single measure?
There is no universal measure: a single pour is commonly 25 ml or 35 ml, depending on the serving convention. When mixing a cocktail, measure the amount rather than pouring by eye.
Can you flambé food with whisky?
It can be used, but flambéing carries a fire risk: never pour whisky straight from the bottle into a hot pan, and keep your face and loose clothing away from the flame. For the flavour without the flame, stir it into the sauce and simmer.
