A bottle of Whisky
can make a great gift
to give to anyone
who enjoys a tipple.
Much like buying wine
when you come to buying
Whisky you have a
huge range covering
all budgets.
Whisky
is created with 3
simple ingredients,
Barley, Water &
Yeast. It is not a
quick product to produce
with the minimum length
of time from start
to finished product
being 3 years, most
of which is spent
with the Whisky being
placed in Oak casks.
It is actually the
Law that for it to
be officially be called
Whisky it has to be
kept in the cask for
a minimum of 3 years.
Most Whiskys are
stored for between
8-12 years and these
are the most common
ones that you will
come across. The longer
the Whisky is aged
for the higher the
price becomes, so
Whiskys that are aged
50 years and over
can command prices
of a few thousand
pounds for a bottle.
This is because they
are likely quite rare
and have been stored
for 50 years which
is quite a long time!
