Whiskey: Price & Age

If you consider inflation, the prices of whiskeys have actually decreased. However, independent bottlings’ and rare whiskeys’ prices never cease to increase.

Very often, we are asked about the best whiskey available. This is usually a question between the inexperienced people who want to gift it to someone else. The actual answer to this question about the best whiskey brand depends upon a lot of basic conditions. The quality, repute of the distillery, and the age of a single malt whiskey are very important factors that decide the quality of the whiskey. This is one question to ask yourself, “Should you rather purchase from small independent distilleries or the big companies’ product range?”

Most of these aspects usually deal with the ‘surroundings’ of the whiskey. Let’s come to the most important characteristic of whiskey: it’s taste. The characteristics of a high-quality whiskey denote its dark nature and full-bodied aspect. The maturity of a whiskey is indeed very important. However, the credo isn’t always ‘the older, the better.’ It’s just that the whiskey should be harmoniously matured. If you want the whiskey to lose its bad characteristics, you should let it undergo subtractive maturation in the cask. These characteristics are mainly removed by oxidation in the breathing cask. It’s only after six to eight years that oxidation is properly completed as a process.

There should be an important balance between subtractive and additive maturation. It’s only after the combination of various aromas where one gets a taste of fruity ness to give rise to a harmonic, complex whole.

Bottling in cask strength also makes a malt whiskey round from time to time. Cask strength whiskey can be usually identified by the fact that it usually says on the label. In this case, the whiskey will go straight from the cask to the very bottle. As far as the personal taste goes, the peat level of whiskey is also a deciding factor. Whiskey usually gets its smoky aroma when the barely that is used is dried over a peat fire. This peat smoke gives rise to a very intense and strong aroma, which is gradually found in the whiskey that you sip.
