LIST OF WHISKY WORDS
A Small Whisky ABC , Glossary
In the world of whisky you may bump into words that are not common !
We have tried to collect some of the whisky words or terms that may need a further explanation if you should be so lucky to bump into a book about whisky .
Further more beware : In the world of whisky words may get or have a different meaning. Smart words, look-alikes and 'slick' marketing can confuse a lot.
(Sorry to all our Danish speaking visitors – Leder du efter en forklaring på dansk så slå et smut forbi Whisky Ordlisten på dansk.)

Word	Remark / explanation
A
Abv	Alcohol By Volume is also known as abv. Abv is the alcohol strength of the whisky mesured as a percentage part in relation to the liquid as a whole. 40% abv is equal to 40% alcohol and 60% water, congeners etc. The word alcohol is derived from Arabic
Age	As stated on the label applied to the youngest whisky in the bottle.(If vatted or blended) By law a Scotch or Irish whisky must be at least 3 years old. The age refers to the youngest whisky – if it is a single pure malt the age refers to the years the whisky has been maturing in the cask. A whisky do not mature in a bottle.
Ageing	Whisky gets its individual character by maturing within the confines of a cask and once bottled the ageing process ends.
Alcohol	Hydrocarbon compund resulting from fermentation of saccharine solutions. Forms the intoxication component of fermented and distilled liquors. Another system of defining alcoholic strength is proof.
Amylase	The enzyme that converts starch into maltose in the Mash Tun.
Angels Share	The name Angel's Share was given to the whisky which each year evaporates from the barrels stored in warehouses. On average this works out at approx. 2% of the barrel's contents per annum, of which most of it is alcohol.
AWA	Alternative Whisky Academy – The mother of this site.

Word	Remark / explanation
B
Backset	Peculiar to North American whiskeys, this is the shin stillage added to both the mash tub and permenter to an amount totalling no less than 25% of the overall mash. This is carried out to help orevent bacterial contaminations.
Ball of Malt	A peculiarly Irish expression for a glass of whiskey.
Barley	Cereal which is germinated to produce malt, the raw material from which malt whisky/whiskey is made.
Beading	A rough method used to tell the alcoholic strength of a whisky. When a bottle is shaken – bubbles or beads will form. The bigger they are and longer they last the greater the alcoholic strength is of the spirit.
Beer	Wort or Mash that has had yeast added which is either partly or completely fermented. Also known as Wash.
Beer still	This is prim. an US Term. Also known as wash still. The first still used in the distillation process.
Blending	The mixing together of a straight whiskey (pure malt, single malt, bourbon or rye) and grain whisky. In Canada the blending process allows for 9,09% to include non-Canadian whiskies (i.e. distilled fruit juices, fortified wine or whiskies from other countries.) The result is a blended whisky / whiskey.
Bond	Warehouse or warehouses in which whisky stocks are held until excise duty is levied. (Sorry not a 007 whisky.)
Bothie	A small house in the Scottish Highlands. Places were sometimes used for making illicit whisky.
Bottled in Bond	Northern American whiskey usually Bourbon bottled after four years in cask, at 50% abv. or more. In UK all whisky is bottled in bond – meaning before excise duty has been paid.
Bourbon	A whiskey normaly produced anywhere in the United States made from a mash of a minimum 51% corn, distilled to a strength of no more than 80% abv. (160 proof) and entered into new charred oak barrels at a strength not exceeding 62,5% abv.
Brewing	The process of mashing grain in hot water and fermenting the result with yeast to produce Wash or beer.

Word	Remark / explanation
C
Caramel	If you know candy you properly know caramel. This dark brown substance made from sugar is used as a coloring agent in some whiskies. If your whisky gets "pale" or loose the brown color when exposed to sunlight it's proberly color adjusted with caramel.
Carring	The dramatic firing og the inside of a new barrel. The contact of the flame on the oak opens fissures into which the spirit can run and from types of sugars which will assist the flavouring and colouring of the maturing spirit. The term sometimes applied to the process being carried out on old barrels in re-charring.
Cask Strength	This is the strength at which the whisky comes out of the cask after maturation. This can be variable according to the age of the whisky. It is not defined by law but some companies use the term to describe whiskies which are stronger than 40 – 43% vol.
Charcoal Mellowing	Specially used for Tennessee whiskey. The new spirit is filtered through charcoal before going into cask. Also known as mellowing. Ikeaching or The Lincoln County Process. Some may be filtered again after cask aging but before bottling.
Charring	The inside surface of new American barrels are exposed to flames as part of the barrel-making process. This releases vanilla from the wood which sweetens the whisky, and the char itself helps remove offnotes. It does not add color to the whisky.
Cheers	This is a must do when drinking whisky in good company. If you are in Scotland or Ireland you would say 'slainte'
Chill Filtration	Filtration and removal of congeners by chilling the whisky. This is a purely cosmetic precaution used to prevent hazing when the bottled whisky is stored at cold temperatures. The greater the spirit is chilled during filtration, the greater the number of congeners will be removed.
Congeners	Chemical compounds found whithin whisky and formulated during fermentation, distillation and maturation carrying properties that have direct relevance to the taste and smell of the sprite. Some of the more delicate congerners can be lost during chill filtration.
Couch	A second tank in which barley is placed after it has been taken from the steep and dries sufficiently before being spread on the floor. (Floor is rare nowadays.)
Cut	The middle portion of the spirit coming off the spirit still. The cut is the best part of the distillate and is saved and put into barrels. The foreshots and feints are re-distilled.
Cytase	Enzyme in barley that breaks down the cell walls thus making starch accessible.

Word	Remark / explanation
D
DCL	The Distillers Company Ltd. Originaly formed out of a trade arrangement made between six Lowland Grain distillers in 1857.
Distillation	Distillation is the simple precess of extraction alcohol from a fluid substance by the application of heat. Because alcohol vaporizes quicker than water, it can be collected during condensation. The process itself may come from the old Egypt (3000 years before Christ), where sailors distilled saltwater to fresh water (removed the salt by heating up the water.).
Doubler	A pot still used for the second distillation off a beer still in order to increase alcoholic strength.
Draff	The Scottish term for spent grains after it has been exhausted of all sugar like properties during fermentation. Used as nutritios food for livestock.
Dram	Dram also known as a Scottish term for a small glass of whisky (A Dram).

Word	Remark / explanation
E
Eagle Rare	A whisky brand
Enzymes	Carried within grain, especially after malting, action as an organic catalyst which converts large non fermentable molecules of starch into smaller, fermentable ones. During mashing, brewers must beware that the grain dows not enter the waters at to hot a temperature as these enzymes can be destroyed or damaged.
Exciseman	Officer form H.M. Customs and Excise who's in charge of the controlling conformity of operations run by spirit manufacturers, distillers and of the payment of relevant duty taxes.

Word	Remark / explanation
F
Feints	The unused end-part of a distillation run which is mostly water. (Also known as Tails.) The flawed end portion of the run from the final distillation. Being unpotable, re-distillation is required.
Fermentation	A slow decomposition of organic substance usually induced by enzymes for instance the conversion of sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide ( C₆H₁₂O₆ > 2 (C^₂H₅OH) + 2 (CO₂) ) by yeast enzymes. Distillers allow fermentation to progress to completion whereas brewers stop the process partway through. The final fermentation is taking place in the cask.
Fermenters	Vessel made from either metal or wood used for the mash to be turned into beer. This is done by adding yeast which feeds of the soluble sugars ehld whithin the Wash. Because of the energy created by the activity of the yeast, fermenters are never filled to the brim. Distilleries using all malt in their fermentation use either switchers to help keep down the foam or they use temperature control.
Fillings	Barrels containing spirit freshly run off the still and which is to be allowed to mature in whisky.
Foreshots	The very first runnings off the still during the second distillation. See heads.
Floor Malting	The building whithin a distillery in which the pratice of malting is carried out by hand. Very few distilleries now continue this ancient pratice.

Word	Remark / explanation
G

Grain Whisky	A whisky distilled by a continuous method to a high alcoholic strength from either wheat or maize and used to blend with a straight whisky.
Green Malt	Barley that has begun germination but has not yet been hotair dried either by kiln or in a drum. This is sometimes used in the making of grain whisky.
Grist	Precisely ground malt flour immersed in hot water to make sugar-rich mash. Ground grains to be used in mashing.

Word	Remark / explanation
H
Heads	Heads is the very first runnings of the still (vs. feints / tails) and undesirale distillate containing compounds even more volastile than alcohol. They are not suitable for whisky and must be re-distilled.
Heart	Between Heads and Tails , the center of the distillate containing the alcohol suitable for whisky.
High Wine	The alcoholic product from the first distillation which is ready to be pumped into a second still (Also known as Spirit Still) for re-distillation.

Word	Remark / explanation
I
Irish Whiskey	Whiskey originaly from Ireland matured for at least 3 years in Ireland. Whiskey from Ireland is spelled with an "e" – some source say it was to differ from Scotch that is spelled without an e (Whisky). Though Whiskey with e is also to be found i US.

J
Jigger	Obsolute name for an illicit distillery or An American mesure of spirit, usually one and half fluid U.S. ounces. ( 1.5 fl. oz )

Word	Remark / explanation
K
Kentucky	Whiskey was made as early as medieval times by Irish and Scottish monks who distilled grains in pursuit of a rejuvenating "water of life." In the early American colonies whiskey was made with rye and used as a medicine and a general aid to well-being. Kentucky settlers gave whiskey several new twists, beginning with corn, which was abundant since settlers could claim 400 acres if they built a cabin and grew a patch of corn. As early as 1775, enterprising Kentuckians were making corn whiskey. (Today, by definition, bourbon is a whiskey made from a mash containing at least 51 percent corn.) By the mid-1800s Kentucky distillers had developed other distinguishing characteristics, such as aging the whiskey in charred new barrels and using sour mash starter to gain consistent high quality from batch to batch. Some people credit the Bluegrass’ limestone water with giving bourbon its smooth taste.
Kieve	The Irish term for mash tub these days rarely heard.
Kiln	Room sized area for drying the malted barley. Smote from peat or coal fires below rises through a mesh floor and permeates the malt. Pegoda-head (pyramid shaped) roofs are the chimneys up which the smoke eventually passes.
Kilning	In malting the process of arresting the growth of the germinationg barley before starch can be used up.

Word	Remark / explanation
L
Leaching	One of the mist common terms applied to the filtration process carried out in Tennessee whisky, the others being charcoal mellowing, mellowing and sometimes though accurately. The Lincoln county process : See Tennessee whisky.
Liquor	Hot water that is specially prepared for the mashing process.
Lommond Still	Perhaps you recall the name Lommond (Loch Lommond) Lommond still is a type of pot still square in shape designed to produce a heavier and oilers spirit. It is named after the Lomond Distillery where it was first used.
Low wines	The product of the first distillation in the wash still.
Lyne Arm	Pertaining to pot stills this is the pipe which slants from the head of the still to condenser or worm along which the alcoholic vapours travel.

Word	Remark / explanation
M
Malt	Barley whose starch content has turned to sugar. Malting is the process of bringing this about on a floor (rare) in a Saladin box (very rare) or like now in large drums.
Mash	A Sweet yellow / brown liquid containing sugars extracted from the crushed grains that is cooled before passing into fermenter. The mash is the product of the mixing of grist with hot water in the mashtun, which will eventually become wort when it will be drawn off at the end of the process. Imagine a very sweet beer without alcohol.
Mash Tub	The large metal vessel in which milled grains (grist) are added to hot water in order to soluabelize all grain starch in preparation for fermentation. Mash Tub is in Scottish also known as Mash Tun.
Mash Tun	The Scottish name of Mash Tub. It is a large circular tank, usually of wood, copper, cast-iron or stainless steel in which the grist is mashed with hot water. (It is similar to the way that tea is mashed with hot water.) in order to dissolve all fermentable sugar. The tun is operated by the "mashman".
Mature or Maturation	A whisky will mature og go through maturation also known as ageing. The process through which the whisky contained in its cask acquires its character. (Like the process when wine is in the bottle – whisky will NOT mature in a bottle.). Some unfavourable components are eliminated through evaporation, at the same time as take place some complex exchanges between the spirit and the cask's wood, which are beneficial to the whisky's character and balance. Whiskies like Macallan matures in Sherry casks and you are actually able to taste a hint of sherry !

Word	Remark / explanation
N
New make	Newly made spirit and yet perfectly clear. Has not yet been matured and is therefore not entitled to be called whisky.
Nose	Also known as the aroma of the whisky.
Noser	One a distillery it is one who smells whisky usually within the distillery or for the distilling company to ensure that its quality meets the required standard.

Word	Remark / explanation
P
Peat	Compustible dark brown sometimes black fuel made from compressed vegatable matter but soft enough to be cut from bogs. Producers pungent smoke known as peat-reek which is sometimes used in the malting of barley especially on the Scottish island of Islay. Water used indistilaltion that has run over peat will also pick up certain peaty character traints.
Peated Malt	Malt whisky showing strong smoky flavour characteristics peculiar to the spirit made from barley kiln dried with peat.
Pot still	A Classic still for double.distilling malt whisky. Containers usually made of copper occasionally stainless steel used for the purpose of distilling.
Price	What is the price and value of whisky It's an open market , try to check some of our hints on this page.
Proof	A system of defining alcoholic strength. Proof spirit is that which at a temperature of 51F (11,5C) weighs twelve thirteenths that of an equal volume of distilled water at the same temperature. and this is said to be 100% Proof. Such a mixture would be 57,1 % alcohol and 42,9% water. The measurement of proof gallons has now given way to liters of pure alcohol. One LPA (Litres of pure Alcohol) beeing 0,386 imperial proof gallons. The new European Union standard is more logical system of expressing alcoholic strength as per centage volume. In another word the it is the volume of alcohol in a mixture expressed as a percentage of the total volume of the mixture. Standard bottlings are now usually made at 40% alcohol by volume, the legal minimum strength for whisky. You may also se bottlings marked as 80 proof and 40% vol alcohol or 80% abv = 160 Proof Se also IOLM (International Organisation of Legal Metrology) and Proof Gallon. The alcohol content of spirits is usually given in terms of "proof", an archaic term inherited from early distillers of fermentation alcohol. In England the "proof" was to pour some of the spirit over gunpowder, and ignite the spirit; at or above a limiting concentration (eleven parts of alcohol by volume to ten parts of water) the gunpowder would explode. Inasmuch as volumes were much easier to measure accurately than weights, before the development of precise balances and scales, this cumbersome measurement of alcohol persisted, even though there is a considerable volume change on mixing ethyl alcohol (ethanol) with water. What they mean by the volume change is that if you add x ml alcohol to y ml water, the resultant mixture is NOT x+y ml. This meant that in many instances, the calculation of proof was very approximate and not very accurate, especially if they diluted the spirit at any time. Spirits on sale are usually 40% alcohol or around that area. 40% is 70 proof. In the US the proof is twice the alcohol content by volume, thus 188° proof contains 94% alcohol by volume. A simple calculation should tell you that 100 proof is around 50% alcohol – but do check that! By the way, the word alcohol is derived from Arabic

Apparently John Bardenheir Wine & Liquor Company (St. Louis, MO) was the distributor. Any help would be appreciated. Norm Thompson Dupo, IL If you have any information please send us an email.	–	–
