Started to take my whisky drinking a bit more serious this year. It's an expensive hobby, but I'm avoiding the good stuff and focussing on the cheaper (but hopefully still good) end of the market. We've bought about 25 bottles and are making our way through them, trying to decide what are favourites are. It's a good hobby for lockdown!
Mostly Scottish single malts, but I'm also trying to up my bourbon game, as bourbon is probably my favourite drink. I've always drank Jim Beam, mostly because it is very cheap here in the UK, but I've got some Bulleit, Wild Turkey, Woodford and Maker's Mark. Again, only the cheap stuff, but they are a bit nicer than Jim Beam. Any recommendations always appreciated.
I was also amazed to read recently that there's a US law preventing casks from being used more than once. A law brought in as a result of lobbying by the coopers' unions. And also that casks are generally made from oak that is between 150 and 200 years old. That's a very old tree to be cut down and used once! So, US bourbon casks are used once and then shipped to Britain where they used over and over again by our distillers. Something like 80% of Scotch whisky is stored in bourbon casks, the rest in sherry casks. Thanks for all the wood!
