If you are looking for a specific type of whiskey or want to try a new one, visit us at Hops & Schnapps. There are many styles to choose from, each with its own unique flavor and brewing method. If you’re wondering when you can find your local liquor store open, contact them or check their website. Here are seven different types of whiskey:
Irish Whiskey
Irish whiskey has more of a fruity, sweet flavor that differentiates it from other spirits because of the ingredients used. You may find it brewed as single malt, blended, or as a single pot still brew. Bush Mills, Jameson, and Green Spot are a few examples of Irish whiskey that are popular at liquor stores. You can find many other styles and brands of Irish whisky when you visit a liquor store open to a worldwide variety.
Tennessee Whisky And Rye
Tennessee whiskey has a similar flavor to bourbon, but it features smoky flavor notes because it is filtered through charcoal as part of the brewing process. Jack Daniels and Evan Williams are a few examples of popular Tennessee whiskey brands that Hops and Schnapps have in stock. We can also special order brands that we may not currently have in stock.
Rye whiskey is primarily made in the US and Canada. It features more of a bold, spicy flavor than other whiskeys and must have at least 51% rye to be counted as this type of whisky. If you prefer a bolder flavor, this drink may be a preferable option. Rye whisky is common in the making of cocktails, such as a whisky sour.
Bourbon
Bourbon is a specialized type of whisky brewed all over the US. Although Kentucky is the country’s leader in brewing bourbon, it can be brewed anywhere. It must contain 51% corn, but it may also have other grains. Bourbon is also categorized as gluten-free, making it ideal for those with allergies. Its flavor profile is caramel and other sweet flavors. The oak taste comes from being stored in charred oak barrels for at least three years.
Scotch Whiskey
Scotch whiskey, spelled without the ‘e’ due to its Scottish origin, has a smoky, earthy, petey taste. It is made as a single grain, single malt, or blended. Because scotch is brewed from barley, it features rich, strong flavors. It must be stored for over three years in oak barrels to qualify as a scotch drink. Johnny Walker, Lagavulin, and Laphroaig are examples of high-quality scotch. You can find this type of whisky in Hops and Schnapps.
Canadian Whisky
Canada uses multiple grains to brew its whisky, which gives it a more mellow flavor with slight hints of caramel or vanilla. Some brands have a heavier rye content and smaller mixes of other grains, making the flavor vary from brand to brand. Caribou Crown, Crown Royal, and Pendleton are three Canadian brands that are popular at liquor stores.
