16. “The Manhattan Cocktail”
A popular history suggests that the drink originated at the Manhattan Club in New York City in the
early 1870s, where it was invented by Dr. Iain Marshall for a banquet hosted by Jennie Jerome (Lady
Randolph Churchill, Winston's mother) in honor of presidential candidateSamuel J. Tilden. The
success of the banquet made the drink fashionable, later prompting several people to request the drink
by referring to the name of the club where it originated—"the Manhattan cocktail".[4][5] However,
Lady Randolph was in France at the time and pregnant, so the story is likely a fiction.[6]

Scotch Malt Whisky Society: “put some in a glass, swirl it,
stick your snout in the hole and sniff
• Look: colour hints of complexity, more color generally equals
more complex flavour
• Sniff: 80% of taste is driven by smell (30 primary smells)
• Taste: get to back of tongue, front is more affected by sting of
alcohol (4 primary tastes)
• Kentucky Chew: move around the mouth expose the entire
palate

83. MALTING:
The process which converts cereal to MALT.
Malting is a process applied to cereal grains, in which the
grains are made to germinate by soaking in water[1] and
are then quickly halted from germinating further by
drying/heating with hot air. Thus, malting is a combination
of two processes: the sprouting process and the kiln-drying
process.

85. The Process #2
MASHING:
Which produces WORT (sugar solution) from
ground or crushed MALT.
Mashing is the process of combining a mix of milled grain
(typically malted barley with supplementary grains such as
corn, sorghum, rye or wheat), known as the "grain bill", and
water, known as "liquor", and heating this mixture. Mashing
allows the enzymes in the malt to break down the starch in
the grain into sugars, typically maltose to create a malty
liquid called wort.

DISTILLATION:
The process that strengthens and purifies the spirit
contained in the WASH and also separates the solids
contained in the spirituous liquor.
Distillation is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in their
volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture. Distillation is a unit operation, or a
physical separation process, and not a chemical reaction.

91. MATURATION:
The process that transforms the raw SPIRIT into WHISKEY or WHISKY.
When a wine or whiskey/whisky ages in a barrel, small amounts of oxygen are introduced as the
barrel lets some air in (compare to microoxygenation where oxygen is deliberately added).
Oxygen enters a barrel when water or alcohol is lost due to evaporation, a portion known as the
"angels' share". In an environment with 100% relative humidity, very little water evaporates and so
most of the loss is alcohol

The process that transforms the raw SPIRIT into WHISKEY or WHISKY.
When a wine or whiskey/whisky ages in a barrel, small amounts of oxygen are introduced as the
barrel lets some air in (compare to microoxygenation where oxygen is deliberately added).
Oxygen enters a barrel when water or alcohol is lost due to evaporation, a portion known as the
"angels' share". In an environment with 100% relative humidity, very little water evaporates and so
most of the loss is alcohol

began around 1870, but the first commercial
production was in 1924 upon the opening of the
country's first distillery, Yamazaki. Broadly
speaking the style of Japanese whisky is more
similar to that of Scotch whisky than Irish
whiskey, and thus the spelling typically follows
the Scottish convention (omitting the letter "e")
