🔍 The Impact of Cask Size 🔍 Did you know that the size of a whisky cask can significantly influence the flavour and aging process? At Imperial Whisky, we carefully select cask sizes to enhance the maturation of our old and rare whiskies. Smaller casks accelerate the aging process, imparting intense flavours, while larger casks allow for a slower, more refined maturation. Explore how the perfect cask size can transform whisky into a masterpiece. Join us to learn more about the intricacies of whisky maturation. #CaskSize #WhiskyMaturation #FlavourProfile

🥃 Types of Whisky 🥃 There are three types of Scottish whisky: single malt, single grain, and blended. 🥃 Single malt is made using malted barley. 🥃 Single grain typically uses corn with a bit of malted barley. 🥃 Blended whiskies combine the other two. Blended whiskies frequently bear the names of their founders, such as Johnnie Walker or Bell’s. Conversely, most single malts are named after the distilleries where they are produced, for example, Bladnoch and Deanston. Follow for more whisky facts!

💭 Ever wondered if whisky can go bad in its cask? Let’s spill the secrets! 🥃✨ While whisky isn’t the only spirit aged in wooden casks-wine and beer join the party too -those brews are susceptible to pesky bacteria that can add unexpected flavours. In fact, some winemakers and brewers embrace these spontaneous infections as part of their craft. 🍷🍺 But here’s where whisky takes a different turn! With an impressive alcohol content of 63.5% or higher, there’s no room for bacteria to crash this party! Plus, many people don’t realise that whisky has much less sugar than they think because those hefty sugar molecules don’t make it through the distillation process. Without ample sugar to feed on, those unwanted guests just can't thrive. Curious about more fascinating facts behind the whisky aging magic?

Several interesting points in this interview w/ Melkon Khosrovian (Thanks for taking the time Melkon!) 🛋️🍹 Relaxation positioning "It really brings up the question, what is the purpose of a cocktail? We settled on the cocktail occasion being to transition people from work mode to relax mode... that’s why we tell our retail partners that they should be in the same section as alcohol, because they do the same thing as liquor and they are used in the same way." 💲🔍 Justification for NA pricing "...with non-alc cocktails, customers have to really enjoy the taste in order to drink them, which means we make them with high-quality ingredients and that costs more...I think they’re (retailers are) seeing that these products garner a higher price-point because the clients that are looking for this stuff are more sophisticated." 💡🏭 The need for smaller organizations to innovate "As a little company, you have to deliver more than you charge. We have to out-deliver on quality and value, so we do it through innovation in terms of production and flavor development."

#Malt #whisky is whisky made from a fermented mash consisting of malted barley. If the product is made exclusively at a single distillery (along with other restrictions), it is typically called a single malt whisky. Although malt whisky can be made using other malted grains besides barley,
