Scotch, bourbon and whiskey: what is the fundamental difference between drinking

Drinking, of course, is harmful, but who among us is not without sin? Moreover, if you do not abuse alcohol, then there is nothing extremely terrible and incredibly destructive in it. Today there are a huge number of varieties of alcohol. Some of them are very similar to each other. Take, for example, scotch, bourbon and whiskey - many citizens do not fully understand that they are actually different things.

Here I would like to quote a famous character from the movie “DMB”: “See the difference? And I can't see. And she is. " In the original there was a gopher, but the meaning is the same. Especially when it comes to bourbon, whiskey and scotch. So what's the difference?

Alcohol is stored in different ways. | Photo: bourboncountry.com.

First of all, it consists in the raw materials used for cooking. Bourbon has long been considered a swine for the American poor, primarily because it prepared the main way from "ignoble" corn, the share of which from the total volume of production raw materials sometimes exceeded 50%. In addition, storage and production technologies differ. So, raw materials for bourbon are always crushed and soaked, and only then boiled. Store bourbon exclusively in new oak barrels.

The situation is different with whiskey. This alcohol is made from rye, barley and wheat. When preparing an alcoholic drink, the ingredients are not crushed, but germinated, dried and peeled. Also, whiskey is necessarily filtered, which is not always true for bourbon. The way of storing an alcoholic drink is also different, whiskey should only contain old oak barrels, in which Madeira, Calvados, cognac and (oh, horror) bourbon were already stored.
