A whiskey Sampling Event happens to be a perfect place for fans and distillers alike to come together and witness the finest the industry has produced and what fans can expect in future. From the classic old time favourite blends to the new exciting ones, one can have them all and get to know the latest trends and traditions of the industry.
The such Whisky Tasting Expo is nothing less than a celebration taking place where the best brands and distillers come together under one roof to give fans some of the truly amazing experience. At such summits, one is bound to witness a plethora of whiskey samples to taste, cherish and even take back home.
Some of the most common variants of whiskies which feature at such events include:
Scotch Whisky
Just like its other siblings, Scotches are made from fermented grain mash, but the spirit is gained from malted barley. To say it concisely, barley, water and yeast is all that it takes to make the classic all-time favourite drink. Made in Scotland, they are one of the most exquisite and popular among fans. No matter what whisky sampling event it is, scotch whiskies just can’t be overlooked.
Bourbon Whisky
Descending from the United States, they are made from a grain mix which is majorly comprised of corn. The spirit is held to age in charred oak barrels for at least a couple of years. They are an inevitable feature in almost all the major whisky tasting expo across the globe.
Irish Whisky
As the name itself suggests, they have their roots to Ireland. Aged for three years in wooden casks, they have a few variants like single pot still, single malt, single grain and lastly the blended.
Tennessee Whisky
The famous ‘Jack Daniels’ you love, happens to be a prime example of this form of whisky. Named after the state of Tennessee, it is a straight bourbon whisky that does not wish to be referred by that name. It is one of the most sought after forms of whisky that is there at every whisky tasting expo.
