Had Double Wood for first time last week (Reply to this comment)
by cedmundwright
Bartender at Stock Yard Bar in Nashville recommended it to me...And I thought drinking it the way single malt should be consumed...neat with a smidgeon of room temp water to get the molecules going...it was fabulous.
Did not consume enough to know about any next day bite...but after sampling my drink, a whole table of diners and drinkers switched to the Double Wood. Decent crowd, and not hardcore..but not rookies either. Drew rave reviews and I was given credit (undeserved) for being a scotch somilier...

That does help - I didn't figure any reisdual sugar or other 'stuff' might still be around in the results of the distillation process. Good to know!

Nothing better than a good Scotch Whiskey. Of course, there's a lot of great occasions for it! Nice review,

Well, like I said, I'm hardly a Scotch expert myself, but I imagine that other 5.2% that's not alcohol would be the result of the raw materials in the process of making the drink (malted barley, water, yeast). It's worth pointing out that few - if any - distillers actually distill their spirit to 94.8%, that's just a maximum number (a more realistic ABV is probably around 60% or so, "cask strength"). From there, water is added to reach the desired 40-43% found in bottlings (usually using the same water source as used in distillation itself). I imagine that the 94.8% marker is the point where no other taste beyond the alcohol is identifiable? Hope that helps.

Dumb question (Reply to this comment)
by davidmanning
From a distillation process newbie -- distilled to 94.8% alcohol by volume? What makes up the other 5.2%? And do they then water it down when it's time for the barrel to get it to 40% (80 proof), 43% or whatever proof they're gunning for?

So glad to see you posted something. Shocked too.
Been a long time and I've wondered what you've been up to but too wrapped up in life to send email. Sorry.
This is a reminder of the incredible writer you have always been. You always keep my interest's with your writing regardless of what you're writing about.
Oh and for the record... I am shocked just SHOCKED you are drinking now. You're still a baby in my eyes.
Also sucks that this means... I'm gettin' old. Thanks for the sad reminder.
Good seeing your writes again. Ramble fest over - I'm not awake yet ;)
X's and O's
