Some common questions about whisky include;
What is whisky, and how is it made?
Whisky is a strong, aged alcohol that is made from mashed, fermented grains such as barley, corn, rye, or wheat and yeast. Whisky often has a warm, earthy, smoky taste of grains and woods; however, depending on the type of whisky, it can vary in flavour, including notes of vanilla, caramel and spices. How a whisky tastes is determined by the production process used, ingredients and ageing time. Whisky is created using 4 distinctive steps: malting/mashing, fermentation, distillation and ageing. Grains are mixed into hot water to turn their starch into wort, a sweet sugar water. Yeast is then added to the sugar water to ferment into alcohol before being distilled into a strong spirit. This spirit is then added to wooden barrels or casks, which give the whisky its unique flavour and left to age over several years. Understanding the unique flavour of whisky is vital before you order whisky online to ensure you choose something that suits your taste. When you buy whisky online from Alnwick Rum, we provide detailed descriptions of flavour profiles, including notes, nose and finish.
What is the origin of whisky?
Although now customers can quickly and easily buy whisky online, whisky has been a popular drink for hundreds of years. The first recorded mentions of “Whisky” date back to the 15th century in Scotland and Ireland, adapting previous distillation techniques from mainland Europe. Although it is unclear who first officially created whisky, Scotland and Ireland are the most historically accurate choices, with written records dating back to the early 1400s. Historians track the origin of whisky to mediaeval Christian monks who travelled through Europe, bringing back Mediterranean distillation techniques intended to create whisky, also known as ‘aqua vitae’ (water of life) for medical purposes.

How do the barrels/casks affect the taste of the whisky?
The wooden barrels or casks used to age whisky often provide around 50% to 70% of the flavour of the finished whisky. Each different type of barrel provides a unique taste and character to the whisky, with common flavours including vanilla, caramel and spice. Pre-used casks from ageing bourbon, wine, rum or sherry are most commonly used to age whisky. The length of the ageing process and oxidisation also play a key part in the creation of a whisky’s flavour, which can help soften harsher flavours over time. When you buy whisky online from Alnwick Rum, we provide details of our production process, including highlighting that our whisky was aged in sherry casks and what this has given to our flavour profile. This allows you to fully understand the type and flavour before you buy whisky online from our store.
