Source text - English So what's so peculiar about The Scot's production?
For a start, every drop of the malt is matured in sherry oak casks. Maturation in oak casks was made law in 1903. Latterly, however, the vast majority of distillers have abandoned sherry casks, in favour of considerably less expensive ex-bourbon casks. Not The Scot. From the purchase of the wood from the forests of Northern Spain to the specification of the sherry fermentation itself, the distillery oversees the entire process. It might cost ten times as much as bourbon cask maturation, but it’s the only way to guarantee the quality of the casks.
Indeed, as one of The Scot’s competitors declared in 1864: “It is well known that whisky stored in sherry casks soon acquires a mellow softness which it does not get when put in new casks; in fact, if the latter are not well seasoned, they will impart a woodiness much condemned by the practised palate. In sherry casks, the spirit likewise acquires a pleasant tinge of colour which is much sought after.”
Translation - Polish A więc co jest tak charakterystycznego w produkcji Scota?
Po pierwsze, każda kropla słodu dojrzewa w dębowych beczkach po sherry. Dojrzewanie whisky w dębowych beczkach zostało ustanowione prawem w 1903 roku. Jednakże ostatnimi czasy przeważająca większość gorzelników porzuciła beczki po sherry na korzyść znacznie tańszych beczek po bourbonie. Nie Scot. Gorzelnia sama nadzoruje cały proces - począwszy od zakupu drewna z lasów północnej Hiszpanii, aż po specyfikację samej fermentacji sherry. Może to kosztować dziesięć razy tyle, co dojrzewanie w beczkach po bourbonie, ale jest to jedyny sposób, aby zagwarantować jakość beczek.
Istotnie, jak oświadczył jeden z konkurentów Scota w 1864 roku: „Powszechnie wiadomo, że whisky leżakowana w beczkach po sherry szybko nabywa aksamitnej łagodności, której nie posiada, gdy jest przechowywana w nowych beczkach; w istocie, jeśli beczki nie są dobrze sezonowane, wydzielają drzewny aromat, bardzo potępiany przez wytrawne podniebienia. Ponadto, w beczkach po sherry trunek nabiera przyjemnego akcentu, który jest tak poszukiwany.”
