If you need help setting up a Facebook or Twitter account in order to participate in any contest, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to getting started!

Making That Frisky Whisky

I apologize in advance for this semi-boring post (boring to me, anyway) but the process of making whisky is something we need to touch on as amateur whisky drinkers, right? Right! I did a lot of research and this is what I understood, if I am wrong or you have anything to add, by all means, comment below!!

 

Here is a diagram to help you follow along!

 

As we learned from a previous posting, To E or not to E…that is the question!, whisk(e)y is “the general term covering bourbon, rye, Scotch and other liquors distilled from a mash of grain.” But what does “distilled” and “mash of grain” actually mean? How does the whole whisky-making process actually work? It’s a pretty complicated process with a lot of steps that all depend on what kind of whisky you’re making but I’ll try to give you a basic run-down.

If you’re more of a visual learner, check out this video on how to make whisky and then come back for the details.

Malting
All grains except barley are ground up, mixed with water, and then cooked. Barley is malted instead of cooked. The barley is soaked in water to germinate, or sprout, and then spread out and watered for about three weeks until it sprouts. This process converts the starch in barley into sugars. Once the barley sprouts, it is dried with hot air to stop the germination process.

Mashing
Mashing is when the combination of cooked grain, malted barley and warm water is mixed with heat to create a mash. For Scotch malt whiskey, the cooked grain is omitted from the combination. Mash is a cloudy, sugar-rich liquid, which is then ready to be distilled.

Fermenting
Before the distilling can happen, however, yeast needs to be added to the mash. The yeast organisms convert the sugars in the mash to alcohol. After 3-4 days of fermenting in the fermentation tank, the result is a liquid containing 10% alcohol. This liquid is called wash (in Scotland) or distiller’s beer (in the United States).

Distilling
Distilling is a way to separate mixtures by heating them to their boiling points. After fermenting, the wash is boiled to 172 degrees Fahrenheit because that’s alcohol’s boiling point. The alcohol turns into a vapor and is collected, condensed back into a liquid and collected. It is now called “low wine.” The low wine is distilled a second time to produce “high wine” which is about 70% alcohol.

Aging
The high wine is now ready to be aged in wooden barrels. Water is added to reduce the alcohol content. Usually to 50 or 60% for American whiskies and 65% for Scotch. Environment plays a part on how alcoholic the whiskies end up. “Scotch whiskeys are aged in cool, wet conditions so they absorb water & become less alcoholic. American whiskeys are aged in warmer, drier conditions so they lose water and become more alcoholic.”

If you need help setting up a Facebook account in order to participate in this contest, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to getting started!

Happy Bidding!

Would you sell your trash on eBay? How about your ex-wife’s wedding dress? Or 2% of your future income to put you through college? There are some people who have!

People sell some pretty crazy stuff on eBay. Per a friend’s suggestion, I decided to check out how much bottles of whisky are selling for on eBay. In my opinion, people are either very, very passionate or very, very kooky to pay as much as these bottles are going for.

Sadly, no one has deemed Mount Royal Light lucky enough to be sold on eBay…or maybe that’s a good thing?

And now for the 2 most expensive bottles of whisky I could find on eBay… You be the judge, would you consider the buyers passionate or kooky?

#2

$16,500.00. Yes, you read that correctly. Sixteen-thousand-five-hundred dollars.

According to The Liquor Cellar, this single malt comes from a sherry cask at The Balvenie Distillery that was in the warehouse since January 26, 1952. The nose notes read: “Complex nose, intense with toffee, marzipan, sweet oak, raisins and nuts.” And the palate notes read: “Developing from butterscotch sweet to clover honey, liquorice and chocolate elegantly balanced with drying oak and spice.”

All the power to whoever shells out $16,500 to taste butterscotch, clover, honey, liquorice and chocolate all in one! That sounds like the flavors you could find in my great-grandma’s candy bowl way back when! Just need some jelly beans in there and we’re golden!

 

#1

Not $19,000.00. $18,999.00. I can’t even imagine that much money going towards something that’s only 750 mL!

The Liquor Cellar’s description said this Macallan Lalique III single malt whisky is 57 years old and “it comes in a Lalique’s Finest Cut crystal decanter which, of course, are a limited edition with only 400 being made.” (Of course!) It’s the second oldest Macallan whisky ever released.

If you are so fortunate to have an extra $18,999 to spend on this fashionable decanter containing a 57-year-old whisky, you would taste “sweet, dried fruits with wood spices,” and smell “dried fruit, heady, aromatic, black cherry, sandalwood, peat smoke.” Hopefully it’s worth it!

Just so you know, the retail price of a 1.75 liter of Mount Royal Light is about $23.00 (depending on the tax & location it’s sold). You could buy more than 825 bottles of Mount Royal Light for the same price as that Macallan Lalique bottle!

And the Winner is…

To E or not to E… that is the question!

I’ve always been a stickler for spelling and grammar. I worked as a copy editor for my college newspaper for two years and English has always been one of my best subjects. To all those spelling and grammar freaks who correct people on their “me and my friend” and their “my friend and I”’s, and who cringe after accidentally adding too many O’s to a “to” in a text—this post is for you!

One of the first things I noticed when I started educating myself about whisky is the difference in spellings – whisky versus whiskey.

First of all, what is it? Whisk(e)y is (according to Dictionary.com) “the general term covering bourbon, rye, Scotch and other liquors distilled from a mash of grain.” Even though the spellings have the same definition, there is one major distinguishing factor setting them apart.

• If it is made in Scotland, Wales, Canada or Japan it is spelled “whisky” (plural “whiskies”).
• If it is made in Ireland or America it is spelled “whiskey” (plural “whiskeys”).

Despite the general rule of thumb for whisky spellings, in 1968, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ruled the official spelling in America to be “whisky.”  Some distilleries wanted to stick to their traditions though and kept spelling their name with the E. That’s why when you look at the labels of American-made whiskies some have the E and some go E-less. The decision of ATF doesn’t hold as strong as tradition apparently.

Mount Royal Light is a Canadian whisky. It is originally a Seagram Company Ltd. product. Seagram’s was a company from Montreal, Quebec, Canada which (we assume) is why Mount Royal Light was named as “whisky” instead of “whiskey”.

And now for a little grammar lesson! Can you score 100%? Edit these sentences and write your answers in the comments! (Hint: 3 errors in #1, 2 errors in #2, 2 errors in #3)

1. Because their is 1/3-less alcohol in Mount Royal Light, bartenders will not loose there head as easily.
2. Remember when you’re friend drank that “other whisky” instead of Mount Royal Light and had to lay down?
3. I prefer to drink Mount Royal Light whisky rather then that beer I could of bought.

*Thank you to www.whiskydistilled.com for information contributing to this post.

To E or Not to E?

Get Skinny

The “Skinny” Whisky… How did we not come up with this before? With all the hype around “skinny” drinks and margaritas how did we miss this!? Well it’s here now! Mount Royal Light is the skinny whisky everyone’s been waiting for! Except it’s been here for a while! I’m working on a few low-cal drink recipes…check them out!

P.S. If you haven’t entered our Sweepstakes yet, get on that!

“Water of Life” Playlist

In honor of the iTunes gift card sweepstakes we have going for the month of August, I thought it’d be fun to put together a “Water of Life” (Whisky) Playlist! Now as you’re sipping on your Mount Royal Light you’ll have something to listen to! A few songs from this list will be loaded on Facebook and Twitter for you to click-through throughout the month.

I linked all the songs to YouTube videos for your viewing and listening pleasure. Some of the videos are odd but they’re the best I could find for that song. For example, in #17 “Whiskey Do My Talking” by Brooks & Dunn it seems the ladies in the video are having their own whisky experience as the photos progress. Slightly amusing!

Chew Gum…Burn 97 Calories!

Did you know that chewing gum for 1 hour burns 11 calories? That means you only have to chew gum for about 9 hours to burn off those 97 calories of Mount Royal Light you had last night! That doesn’t seem too tough now does it?!

When I was thinking about how hot it has been outside this week, it got me wondering if sweating actually makes you lose weight. After a bit of research, sadly, I found out you lose the water weight by sweating it out but as soon as you rehydrate you gain it right back. Dang, I was hoping my soaking shirt at the gym meant I lost more than the machines told me! I speak not only for myself, but I think many Wisconsinites as well, when I say that I work out to stay in shape and be healthy, but let’s be real… I want to burn the calories so I have room to drink the calories!

It was 97 degrees today and that reminded me of the 97 calories in a shot of Mount Royal Light. And that got me thinking about how long I’d have to work out or do anything for that matter to burn off 97 calories — before OR after I drink them. So again, I researched!

1. Chew gum for 9 hours.
2. Have sex for 52 minutes.
3. Dance in the club (or your car with a DD in between bars!) for 15 minutes.
4. Jog at 5 miles/hour for 10 minutes.
5. Walk around the block for 27 minutes.
6. Pick up trash in a park or along the beach for 22 minutes.
7. Bike around the block at a moderate pace for 11 minutes.
8. Play frisbee for 27 minutes.
9. Straighten your hair for 37 minutes.
10. Go bowling for 27 minutes.
11. Mow the lawn for 18 minutes.
12. Jump rope for 10 minutes.
13. Swim laps for 11 minutes.
14. Play a board game for 1 hour.
15. Pick berries in a nearby field for 20 minutes.
16. Garden for 17 minutes.
17. Walk your dog for 20 minutes.
18. Fold laundry for 43 minutes.
19. Type at your computer for 60 minutes.
20. Hula hoop in your driveway for 19 minutes.

Let’s cheers with a shot of Mount Royal Light Whisky, only 97 calories to celebrate this 97 degree day! The kind of weather we hope for all winter long and then dread when it’s…HERE HERE!!
