Scotch mill

Irish Whiskey. Irish whiskeys are blends of grain and malt spirits three or more years of age that are produced in either the RepubHc of Ireland or Northern Ireland and comply with the respective laws regulating their manufacture. Since no peat is used in the malting process, Irish whiskey lacks the smokey character of Scotch. In the manufacturing process, the malt is soaked in water and milled to produce the wort. The fermentation usually takes about 60 hours. The first distillation in a pot stiU yields a 22—23% alcohol product. A second pot stiU distiUation produces a product that is 45—46% alcohol. This is foUowed by a third distiUation in another pot stiU to yield the Irish whiskey of about 68—70% alcohol.

St. James The English name was calculated to appeal to the American colonist export market back in the 18th century — they even use the square bottles more characteristic of Scotches and gins. St. James products offer some of the best value for money, especially the boxed Hors D Age. Located on the Atlantic coast near Sainte-Marie, it also offers one of the more thorough tourism experiences. The mill and distillery are authentic. There are trips three days a week on the plantation railway, and there s a fine restaurant attached. Buy Hors D Age, 25.50. Open daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m train runs on Tuesday and Wednesday 9 30 a.m.-1 30 p.m. and Saturday 2 p.m.-5 p.m., 5 per ride 01 I -596-596-69-30-02...
