SOLUTION!

Solution -> Dilution

(as in chemistry)...

Dilution ? Scotch whisky !


There's a lot of water in it. It's really diluted !

Differently from Irish Whiskey which is concentrated
drink from the water of life.

Ha, ha, ha, goo goo, goo joob. I am the Walrus.

Ever heard the Real English Program about....

THE BEATLES ?!?!

Wally... Irish and Scotch whisky are made in essentially the same way- though the malting processes differ- Scotch whisky is typically made from all malt grain roasted in an open kiln over peat fire, whereas in Irish whisky the grains are malted in a closed kiln, and then mixed with unmalted grain.

Typically, most brands of both Irish and Scotch whisky sold is are blended, that is to say, several batches of whisky are blended together (NOT water) although some high-end product is sold as unblended.

From there the differences are more myth than reality. As I said, traditionally grain for Scotch whisky was malted over a peat fire, and they strive for a smoky flavor, as opposed to Irish whisky which traditionally doesn't... Some of that smoky flavor can also be acquired in the barrels they age it in, for instance. On the other hand, it isn't to say that Irish distilleries haven't also made Scotch-style whisky- single malt, peat-fired such as Connemara.

There are only three distilleries in Ireland- Bushmill's, Midleton, and Cooley. ALL of the current brands of Irish whisky are made from product produced by these three distilleries.

And with regard to dilution, they strictly controlled and alcohol content is gauged by "proof"- "70 proof" means 35% alcohol, "80 proof" means 40% alcohol, and so on.

You either have a lot of ill-conceived notions, or crooked barkeepers trying to make an extra buck by selling you booze that they watered down themselves.

SO... on with the thread...
