威士忌英文，威士忌的英語(yǔ)究竟是 還是 Whiskey

英文名稱： Whiskey ；Whisky。烈酒通常被習(xí)慣分為六大類：金酒（Gin）、威士忌（Whisky）、白蘭地（Brandy）、伏特加（Vodka）、蘭姆酒（又叫羅姆酒、藍(lán)姆酒或朗姆酒）（Rum）和龍舌蘭。（Tequila）。在英語(yǔ)世界中，蘇格蘭和美國(guó)的威士忌是 Whisky 。愛(ài)爾蘭和加拿大威士忌是Whiskey。區(qū)別就在多了一個(gè)e。蘇格蘭和愛(ài)爾蘭為了證明本國(guó)是威士忌發(fā)明的國(guó)家所以在威士忌的寫法上就不同了。在美國(guó)和愛(ài)爾蘭，酒商會(huì)在酒標(biāo)上使用「whiskey」這個(gè)拼寫方法 ，蘇格蘭、加拿大和其他單一麥芽生產(chǎn)地區(qū)則愿意使用「whisky」。（所以看一個(gè)飲酒人士怎么拼寫威士忌，很可能能猜到他日常接觸什么樣的威士忌比較多）據(jù)說(shuō)，在 19 世紀(jì)七八十年代，蘇格蘭威士忌的質(zhì)量欠佳。愛(ài)爾蘭的酒商希望自己的產(chǎn)品能和「低端」的蘇格蘭威士忌有所區(qū)分，因此在也英文中加了「e」用以區(qū)分。如今蘇格蘭威士忌的地位已無(wú)可撼動(dòng)，但這個(gè)拼寫的區(qū)別仍然保留下來(lái)。以如果期待能深入威士忌的世界，從威士忌菜鳥(niǎo)變身資深酒客——《威士忌微醺之旅：超入門賞味手冊(cè)》這本小書可以幫到你。忘掉那些令人望而卻步的厚重又昂貴的威士忌指南！你甚至可以走進(jìn)一家酒吧，一邊喝酒一邊閱讀本書。從最紅火的單一麥芽、日本威士忌到調(diào)和型威士忌，從釀造工藝、風(fēng)味品鑒再到購(gòu)買指南……就以這小書入手，輕松開(kāi)始你的威士忌微醺之旅。美國(guó)的威士忌是whisky，加拿大威士忌是Whiskey，被稱為生命之水。

Scotch Whisky Whisky is, in its most basic sense, a spirit that is distilled from grain. Sometimes the grain has been malted, sometimes not. It is aged, often for long periods of time, in wooden barrels (usually oak). This barrel-aging smoothes the rough palate of the raw spirit and adds aromatic and flavoring nuances along and the base amber hue, all of which set whiskies apart from white grain spirits such as Vodka, Gin and Aquavit, which are distilled closer to neutrality in taste, and then generally not aged in wood. The basis of Scotch whisky is the heather-flavored ales made from barley malt that the Picts and their prehistoric ancestors brewed. Archeologists have found evidence of such brewing dating back to at least 2000 B.C. This ale (which is still produced today by at least one Scottish microbrewer) was low in alcohol and not very stable. Starting in the ninth century, Irish monks arrived in Scotland to Christianize their Celtic brethren. Along with the Word of the Lord they brought the first primitive stills, which they had picked up during their proselytizing visits to mainland Europe during the Dark Ages. The local Picts soon found that they could create a stable alcoholic beverage by distilling their heather ale. Simple stills came to be found in most rural homesteads, and homemade whisky became an integral part of Gaelic culture

愛(ài)爾蘭威士忌 irish whiskeythe distillation of irish whiskey has a long history, no one knows for sure when it first began. some sources place it as early as the 6th century when irish monks brought the distillation process back from the middle east . we may never know for sure but can be thankful it was started sometime in the distance past, enabling many hundreds of years of experience and perfection to bring us to the stage we are at today. certainly the distillation process in ireland is many hundreds of years old. in gaelic the drink became knowh as "uisce beatha" which means "water of life." the normans called it "fuisce" and eventually it evolved into "whiskey." what needs to come together? barley, clear waters, and peat for the fires to toast the barley are the key ingredients. they are certainly all found in ireland ! apart from the spelling irish whisk(e)y differs from scotch whisky in that normally irish is distilled three times (but not always) verses two for most scotch. the malting process also differs between irish & scoth, as irish whiskey uses sprouted barley dried in a closed kiln that is then mixed with unmalted barley before being ground into a grist. this accounts for the smoothness of irish whiskey and the "non-peaty" taste compared to scotch.
