A Little History About Whiskey

Did you know all whiskey starts its life as beer? You read that right! Distilleries begin by fermenting grains, similar to beer brewers to release sugars that yeast will eventually convert into alcohol. The lifecycle of distilling whiskey is long and tedious, the minimum length of time a distiller should age whiskey is a whopping 3 years! How crazy is it that?! From birth to 3 years whiskey should not be consumed. That’s on the lower end, as some distillers prefer to age their whiskey 5 years, 10 years, or even 12 years, and the oldest whiskey is over 150 years old.

It’s no secret whiskey is the most popular liquor in the world, because whiskey is extremely versatile and an essential ingredient in many famous drinks at all the best bars in Dallas. Most whiskey has only 70 calories per shot and it has originated in a variety of different places across the globe, such as in the United States, Ireland, Scotland, and more. Whiskey can be used in cocktail recipes, shot recipes, for cooking, and so much more. Whiskey comes in handy when cooking dressings, desserts, soups, and more. 

Whiskey Fun Facts:

• The use of  “Whisky” and “Whiskey” are both accurate depending on where the whiskey originated

• Whiskey is known to have a grainy, woody, oaky taste with hints of caramel, vanilla, and spice

• Whiskey can be smooth or rather harsh depending on the quality 

• In the 18th century Washington was the largest American whiskey producer thanks to George Washington and his passion for whiskey
