Whisky for connoisseurs

The term whiskey refers to the Gaelic term for water of life. The origin of this spirit lies in Ireland or Scotland. The traditional drink is produced by distillation and is made from grain mash. The whiskey gets its special flavour from maturing in wooden barrels. For whiskey connoisseurs, there are subtle differences between the varieties and also in the spelling. The term whisky has become established for Scotch, while bourbon is called whiskey. Malted barley is used in the production of Scotch, while corn and other types of grain are used for bourbon whiskey. There are now many other countries where whiskey is produced, such as Switzerland, Japan and Buthan. The production process is as follows: Malting or boiling, crushing, mashing, fermentation, distillation and subsequent storage. Water, grain and yeast are used in the production process. Water hardness, mineral content and the type of grain ensure the typical character of the whiskey. At Globus you will find a large, international variety of whiskeys that you can order directly online. For many connoisseurs, the fine whisky from Scotland the classic. In our Globus shop, you can buy exquisite single malt whiskies from traditional distilleries, as well as new types of whisky from the USA or from Japan. The interesting selection invites you to experiment with new flavours. Smoky flavours or a spicy, almost sweet note accompany the smooth whiskey taste. The different varieties are influenced by the high-quality raw materials and the production process. The maturation period is very important in this context and indicates the quality of the whiskey. At least three years of maturation are necessary for a good flavour. Many varieties have a maturation period of twelve years and premium whiskeys are even stored for over 20 years. Whiskey, served in style

After a good meal or at a drink with your friends, it may be a special drop. Some lovers drink their whiskey plain, others prefer it on ice or with water. In your own cellar bar, you can serve your guests scotch or bourbon in beautiful whiskey glasses. Luxurious spirits should at most be served with ice and water. The simpler varieties are also suitable for mixing, for example for long drinks such as whiskey and cola. Well-known whiskeys in the Globus online shop
