威士忌英语，威士忌的英语究竟是 还是 Whiskey

英文名称： Whiskey ；Whisky。烈酒通常被习惯分为六大类：金酒（Gin）、威士忌（Whisky）、白兰地（Brandy）、伏特加（Vodka）、兰姆酒（又叫罗姆酒、蓝姆酒或朗姆酒）（Rum）和龙舌兰。（Tequila）。在英语世界中，苏格兰和美国的威士忌是 Whisky 。爱尔兰和加拿大威士忌是Whiskey。区别就在多了一个e。苏格兰和爱尔兰为了证明本国是威士忌发明的国家所以在威士忌的写法上就不同了。在美国和爱尔兰，酒商会在酒标上使用「whiskey」这个拼写方法 ，苏格兰、加拿大和其他单一麦芽生产地区则愿意使用「whisky」。（所以看一个饮酒人士怎么拼写威士忌，很可能能猜到他日常接触什么样的威士忌比较多）据说，在 19 世纪七八十年代，苏格兰威士忌的质量欠佳。爱尔兰的酒商希望自己的产品能和「低端」的苏格兰威士忌有所区分，因此在也英文中加了「e」用以区分。如今苏格兰威士忌的地位已无可撼动，但这个拼写的区别仍然保留下来。以如果期待能深入威士忌的世界，从威士忌菜鸟变身资深酒客——《威士忌微醺之旅：超入门赏味手册》这本小书可以帮到你。忘掉那些令人望而却步的厚重又昂贵的威士忌指南！你甚至可以走进一家酒吧，一边喝酒一边阅读本书。从最红火的单一麦芽、日本威士忌到调和型威士忌，从酿造工艺、风味品鉴再到购买指南……就以这小书入手，轻松开始你的威士忌微醺之旅。美国的威士忌是whisky，加拿大威士忌是Whiskey，被称为生命之水。

Scotch Whisky Whisky is, in its most basic sense, a spirit that is distilled from grain. Sometimes the grain has been malted, sometimes not. It is aged, often for long periods of time, in wooden barrels (usually oak). This barrel-aging smoothes the rough palate of the raw spirit and adds aromatic and flavoring nuances along and the base amber hue, all of which set whiskies apart from white grain spirits such as Vodka, Gin and Aquavit, which are distilled closer to neutrality in taste, and then generally not aged in wood. The basis of Scotch whisky is the heather-flavored ales made from barley malt that the Picts and their prehistoric ancestors brewed. Archeologists have found evidence of such brewing dating back to at least 2000 B.C. This ale (which is still produced today by at least one Scottish microbrewer) was low in alcohol and not very stable. Starting in the ninth century, Irish monks arrived in Scotland to Christianize their Celtic brethren. Along with the Word of the Lord they brought the first primitive stills, which they had picked up during their proselytizing visits to mainland Europe during the Dark Ages. The local Picts soon found that they could create a stable alcoholic beverage by distilling their heather ale. Simple stills came to be found in most rural homesteads, and homemade whisky became an integral part of Gaelic culture

爱尔兰威士忌 irish whiskeythe distillation of irish whiskey has a long history, no one knows for sure when it first began. some sources place it as early as the 6th century when irish monks brought the distillation process back from the middle east . we may never know for sure but can be thankful it was started sometime in the distance past, enabling many hundreds of years of experience and perfection to bring us to the stage we are at today. certainly the distillation process in ireland is many hundreds of years old. in gaelic the drink became knowh as "uisce beatha" which means "water of life." the normans called it "fuisce" and eventually it evolved into "whiskey." what needs to come together? barley, clear waters, and peat for the fires to toast the barley are the key ingredients. they are certainly all found in ireland ! apart from the spelling irish whisk(e)y differs from scotch whisky in that normally irish is distilled three times (but not always) verses two for most scotch. the malting process also differs between irish & scoth, as irish whiskey uses sprouted barley dried in a closed kiln that is then mixed with unmalted barley before being ground into a grist. this accounts for the smoothness of irish whiskey and the "non-peaty" taste compared to scotch.
