Find Out What All These Confusing Terms on Whiskey Labels Mean With This Guide
Whiskey can be a little intimidating, especially if you don’t know terms like “single cask” and “blended.” Or what is the difference between “whiskey” and “whiskey”. This simple glossary can help you.
If you’ve ever walked down the altar at your local grocery store and gazed at whiskey bottles, VinePair’s Emily Bell is here to help. Bell has compiled the most confusing terms you’ll find on whiskey bottles and explained them so you always know what is being poured into your glass (or flask). For example, location and preference is all that determines if a word of whiskey has an “e” in it, “single malt whiskey” means it’s all produced in the same distillery, and “small batch” doesn’t necessarily mean a lot. (except for some bourbons). Whiskey can be a daunting task, but it is also very rewarding if you manage to find something that you like. You can find the complete guide at the link below.
