Whiskey

One fifth of whiskey (or similar liquers) = 757.08236 milliliters. A typical liquer bottle found in Europe would hold 750 milliliters. In the US, we may still ask for a "fifth" or 'pint" or "half-pint" of liquor, but if you look at the bottom of the bottle, it will be marked "750", "375" or "200" ml.

Depends on where you are.

In Europe, a shot is 20ml.

In the UK, a shot is either 25ml or 35ml.

In the US, a shot is one fluid ounce, roughly equivalent to 30ml.

So divide 1500 (ml in 1.5 litres) by the value of your choice from above and you get the answer...

Because they could make more money turning their wheat into whiskey, but the government needed more food supplies, not alcohol. So the government put a tax on whiskey and farmers lost business.

As with any volume measurement, the important measurement is the radius of the container.

A 'finger' of whiskey in a narrow glass will measure a lot less than one in a wide glass.

It will also depend on the thickness of the finger used in the measurement..... my fingers are quite a lot thicker than my wife's.

It's called a shot glass.

3 parts governing Single Malt...

Whisky produced from only - malted barley, yeast and water, in a pot still.

Distilled and aged in Scotland at only ONE distillery, and aged for a minimum of 3 years in oak casks.

Bottled at a minimum strength of 40% abv.

Blended whiskey on the other hand...

Can be made from a vatting of grain whiskey (distilled in a column or pot still from any grain) and Single Malt whiskey from any distillery.

Distilled and aged in Scotland for a minumum of 3 yrs in oak casks.

If I wanted to make a blend, I could buy any whiskey over 3yrs old from any grain distillery or any single maly distillery and vat it together.

amaretto (di Saronno) is a liquor - so yes

Bourbon. there is several issues hiding in your question let´s break it down. 1 If it is Bourbon it is named Whiskey not Whisky

this is a tradition from Irland followig the new imigrants in US

Correct would be American Whiskey .. Bourbon is one of them

Whisky from Scotland (UK) is by law defined as grain or barley based

destillation up to maximum 95% and then matured a minimum 3 years on oak.

If only Barley normally destilled in Pots then it is Malt Whisky

If only Grain normally destilled in patent stillt then it is grainwhisky

If blended then it is Blended whisky ... what normally is named a scotch 2 Bourbon is Whiskey produced in Kentucky specifically

in the county Bourbon it is not allowed to sell alkohol -

3 Bourbon is made out of "NOT Barley" basically Corn

Whiskey is stored on frech American Oak barrels

Whiskey is typically destilled at higer % than malt whisky but

lower than grain whisky 4 There is other American Whiskeys ... not just Bourbon ... Jack Daniels is one that is very alike but is not made in Kentucky ... and with an add on ... filtering through thick layer of coal from maple wood.

Whisky production began in grain-growing regions (the same regions where beer was being produced) whereas the distillation of brandy developed in regions producing wine. The first traces of distilled barley go back to the 13th century in China. In those times, whiskey was considered a medicine, helping to heal all kinds of diseases. It was used as an ointment as well as a drink.

Before bearing the name of "whiskey" (or whiskey if produced in Ireland or the United States), the drink was called "Uisge Beatha", which means "Water of Life" in Gaelic. The name evolved through Anglicisation to become Usquebaugh, then Uisge and finally whiskey (a term which has been re-borrowed into Irish Gaelic as Fuisc�).

The famous historian and chronicler Rapha�l Holinshed wrote the following about the results of distillation of malted barley in his "Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland" in the 16th century:

"Being moderately taken, it slows the age, it cuts phlegm, it lightens the mind, it quickens the spirit, it cures the dropsy, it heals the strangulation, it pounces the stone, it repels gravel, it pulls away ventositie, it keeps and preserves the head from whirling, the eyes from dazzling, the tongue from lisping, the mouth from snuffling, the teeth from chattering, the throat from rattling, the weasan from stiffing, the stomach from womblying, the heart from swelling, the belly from wincing, the guts from rumbling, the hands from shivering, the sinews from shrinking, the veins from crumpling, the bones from aching, the marrow from soaking, and truly it is a sovereign liquor if it be orderly taken."

The first whiskey distillery to gain a licence to produce was the Old Bushmills distillery, granted by James I in 1608.

It's made in Louisville, Kentucky. But it's not whiskey. It's a liqueur. There's only a very small amount of whiskey in it.

Marketing.

Have you weighed a pound of coffee lately?

Regulations have it that you can't bring more than a liquor (1) into an Asian territory (country, provinence, etc...)

The value of a 1971 Run for the Roses Jim Beam bottle typically ranges between $50 to $150, depending on its condition and whether it includes the original packaging.

Any specialty liquor shop worth a damn will have that bottle readily available. If not, they should be able to order it.

No. The drug in whiskey is alcohol and it is a depressant.

No, Whisky contains on average 40 to 45% ABV while wines on average contain 10 to 15% ABV.

However, standard drinks of dinner wine (five ounces), beer (12 ounces), and distilled spirits (one and one-half ounces) each contain the same amount of absolute alcohol: 0.6 oz. To a breathalyzer they're identical. And consuming them in moderation has comparable health and longevity benefits.

Are you kidding.. scotch Whisky is the only way to single malt .. without single malt you are lost. American whiskey is OK with ice a warm day .. Irich is good in the cooffe .

Blended is just for the soda or a sheap way to be drunk...

A single malt scotch Whisky is for the one who care..

The moderate consumption of whiskey (as well as beer, wine and other distilled spirits) is associated with better health and greater longevity than is either abstaining from alcohol or abusing it.
