We have all encountered those individuals who drink nothing but whiskey or those that experience complete revolution at the amber liquid's aroma. Well here is liquor's breakdown.......
Whiskey can have a variety of flavors (mint, dark chocolate, caramel, and vanilla. Molasses. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove spice. Toasted wood, earth, and cedar) which are produced from the fermentation of mashed grain. The grain type ranges from cereal to barely-- all depending on the country and method of distillation (type of oak barrel or filtration system used).
The most popular whiskey cocktail is simple, whiskey and soda. I decided to bring you one classic and another modern innovative approach to the whiskey cocktail.
