12th & Laramie
| Whiskeys are distilled grain and are aged in oak barrels to impart their brown color and smoky, dark taste. There are a number of different varieties. The four main types are: Irish, Canadian, American, and Scotch ( which we give its own page). Irish Whiskeys are made from malted barley grains. Light in style, they differ from Scotch whiskys in that peat is never used, meaning it will have less of the smoky character associated with Scotch. Popular brands include Jameson & Bushmills. Canadian whisky - brands include Crown Royal & Canadian Club - is a blended grain whisky containing a combination of barley, rye, corn, & wheat. Canadians are generally light in style. ( Fear the Canadians, but embrace their whisky!) American whiskies include Bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, and Rye whiskey. Bourbon is generally made in Kentucky, although today no distilleries exist in Bourbon County. Sweet & smooth this American classic is conditioned with sour mash, the leftover solids from the previous batch. Maker's Mark, Jim Beam, and Woodford Reserve are among the more famous brands of bourbon. Tennessee whisky is similar to Bourbon, but subjected to a charcoal filtering process that imparts a unique flavor and smooth quality to the finished product. Jack Daniels is the big dog in these parts, but George Dickel is worth a try. Rye whisky was at one point the main whiskey consumed in the Northeastern United States, but recently was only produced by a few distillers until a resurgence of interest in the last couple of years has led to an increasing number of rye whiskies becoming available.
