      <image:caption>I find that my favourite results come from a loose leaf earl grey tea, I make sure to not over-brew it because sometimes over-brewed earl grey can have some undesirable flavours that can’t be balanced well with the sugar. I use the standard 1:1 ratio for the syrup and it’s an absolute treat when using it in rum cocktails, it brings such an interesting character to drinks. Try using a tea syrup in something like a Daiquiri and see what you think!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When using tea for smoking your drinks it’s best to use loose leaf tea. If you have a smoking gun or some other kind of smoking tool just put the tea where you would usually place the wood, light it up and smoke your cocktail. If you don’t have a tool for this it’s always easy to just sprinkle a bit of tea on a flame resistant surface (chopping board, stone, plate) and light the tea up, then place your glass over it to trap all that smoke in the glass. Chai is usually great to use for smoked cocktails, also Hojicha provides lovely results too. Tea-smoked cocktails are just another fantastic way to incorporate tea with cocktails.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When you brew a cup of tea (that’s not cold brew) you will use hot water, the hotter the water the more extractive it is. Alcohol also has similar extractive abilities that increase as the ABV% goes up. When using spirits that are at least 40% ABV you can brew your tea relatively quick and easy. Depending on the tea you use and the ABV of the spirit this can take anywhere between 30 seconds to a few minutes. This technique can add wonderful, interesting and nuanced notes to your spirit that might be fun to drink on it’s own, but more likely will be better to use in a cocktail. I love using a white rum or a gin to brew the tea, being careful to tailor the right tea to the right spirit.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You can use the tea in just little drops or dashes, you can carefully measure it with a pipette to accurately bring your whisk(e)y down to a certain ABV% (see the dilution calculator) or you can just throw caution to the wind and pour in however much tea you’d like into the dram. All these methods will result in so many variations and experiences when it comes to enjoying your drink.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It is believed that the technique of ageing in casks for flavour was discovered by accident while transporting wines from one place to another. Another theory suggests that sailors realised that their rum rations tasted better on their way back from a long sea voyage than when they left. Today, many liquids and even some foods spend time in casks, including Tabasco hot sauce, salted fish, wine, and spirits.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - Why do we age whisk(e)y in a barrel?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Immature Spirits Act 1915 brought about a compulsory two-year maturation period (increased to three years the following year) for Scotch whisky prior to sale. At the time, Scotch whisky was viewed as one of the biggest threats to Scottish society by David Lloyd George. George blamed whisky for all the issues the country faced, and especially blamed young, immature whisky (or new make spirit) as being the biggest problem, as this unaged spirit allegedly had a more ‘severe impact’ on the drunkenness of the Scots. The Act was intended to slow down the consumption of whisky and increase the difficulty of being able to access the liquid. Rather than diminishing the whisky industry, as was desired from this Act, it had the unintentional effect of improving the quality of Scotch whisky as the average age of whiskies rose. The outcome of this Act also filtered out a lot of poorer quality producers who were looking to churn out spirit in rapid turnaround times. This alternative result positioned Scotch whisky as a more premium product.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Some countries such as Australia, Canada and Ireland, will have casks made from maple, acacia, cherry or chestnut wood. However, most distilleries will choose oak as their wood of choice when it comes to the maturation stage of whisky. Oak is the perfect wood for casks due to its strength, suppleness and porosity. Oak is also quite soft compared to other woods, allowing it to be bent into shape a lot easier than other woods. The structure of oak ensures a very low chance of leakage while still allowing the whisky to breathe, which is vital to the maturation process.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - Why do we age whisk(e)y in a barrel?</image:title>
      <image:caption>To create a good quality cask, the rough staves must be left to season and dry out, this can take anywhere from a few months to a few years. During the drying process, which is also known as equilibration, the moisture content is reduced. If the staves are not properly dried, unequal shrinkage can occur, which can negatively affect the barrel when the liquid is already inside. To dry and season the wood used for casks, there are two main methods, ‘Air-Dried’ and ‘Kiln-Dried’. (Pictured: A photo from the Independent Stave Company showing how they arrange their staves to dry out.)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - Why do we age whisk(e)y in a barrel?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The two methods are pretty self-explanatory, air-drying is leaving the oak outside, exposed to the elements to dry slowly over time. Kiln-drying is directly heating the oak to dry it in a more controlled manner. Both have their uses, both displaying different results. An experiment was conducted by the Whiskey Tribe observing the effects of air-drying vs kiln-drying on many different variables that contribute to the finished whisky (pictured). A great way to experience these differences yourself is through the Benromach ‘Contrasts’ series, where they have released two expressions of basically the same whisky, but with one being matured in air-dried wood and one being matured in kiln-dried wood. Once the oak has been dried to its desired levels, those staves can then be sent to the cooperage where a cooper will masterfully assemble a cask, having it ready to be filled with new-make spirit.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Addition- While in the cask, a number of reactions are going on to alter the aroma and flavour profile of the liquid. These ‘addition’ reactions occur when the cask directly adds certain chemical compounds and flavours to the whisky. The whisky extracts the available oak degradation compounds formed during cask manufacture. These compounds derive from the natural oak polymers found in the wood. Cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin, oak tannins and the char layer. Different oak derived compounds are imparted at different stages during the maturation process. This means that, for certain whiskies, the most significant flavour uptake is immediately following filling, while others take longer to develop through oxidation as part of the ‘transformation’ changes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Depending on the distillery, the business model and the core range of the brand, an ageing cask of whisky could be destined for many different paths. It might reveal itself to be an excellent candidate for a Single Cask selection down the line. It might be one of many ex-bourbon cask aged whiskies to be married together for a core range release. Or sometimes it might start off with one plan, but over time ends up needing to be ‘finished’ in an alternative cask to give it the character it needs.

      <image:title>Blogs - Blending your own whisky at home</image:title>
      <image:caption>When blending spirits, there is certainly a method to the madness. As a general rule, if you think of the components of your blended spirit as components of a pyramid, you should be heading in the right direction. Start with a foundation spirit that works as a base, does a lot of the heavy lifting and is something that plays well with many flavours. Next layer is your supporting act, it’s not the main focus of flavour, but without a strong supporting act, the foundation won’t deliver enough on it’s own. Your tip of the pyramid is your accent flavour or seasoning spirit, something you use very little of in comparison to the other volumes, but adds a lovely seasoning or accent flavour to the rest of the blend. If you are playing around with blending, it is definitely a good idea to start with just 3 spirits. That way you can nail the basics before stepping up to bringing many more spirits to the dance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - Blending your own whisky at home</image:title>
      <image:caption>Although the first pyramid diagram above focuses only on 3 components, the same rule can translate to a blend with many more components. If you were looking to blend with 4 different spirits, follow the pyramid principle, but just split up each level of the foundation, the support and the accent. In this case, the pyramid principle still applies for 4 spirits, with 2 of them stepping in as the foundation. You could do 5 spirits and split the supporting act into 2 as well, or even the seasoning spirit into 2, and so on and so forth. As an example of a blended whisky following this pyramid, we took Clynelish 14 as our foundation, Aberlour 12 as our supporting act and Old Pulteney Cask Strength as the accent flavour. The respective volumes were 14ml, 10ml and 6ml.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In this experiment, 60ml of a 40% ABV whisky was poured into 2 identical glasses. One glass was filled with multiple ice cubes with a total mass of 140g. The other glass was filled with one, large, clear ice cube with a total mass of 140g. The aim was to see what gives you more dilution over time. The volume of the whisky in each glass was checked at 15 minutes and 30 minutes. As a side note, the temperature was also checked at intervals of 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes. The temperature reached a plateau at 15 minutes and no longer needed to be recorded after that. Now usually when you are drinking your whisky on the rocks/on a rock, a lot of movement takes place. You pick up the glass, you take a sip, you give it the odd swirl and then you sit it down again. This movement does agitate the ice and will cause it to melt and dilute faster. Because this is something that is too hard to control and keep consistent for both glasses, they were just left to sit still the whole time without any outside intervention.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - On the rocks, or on a rock?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Both with an initial volume of 60ml, the total volume of each was checked after 15 minutes. ‘On the rocks’ ended up with 87ml, a 31% dilution rate, and an ABV of approximately 27.6%. ‘On a rock’ ended up with 80ml, a 25% dilution rate, and an ABV of approximately 30%. After 30 minutes, ‘On the rocks’ ended up with a total volume of 115ml, a 47% dilution rate, and an ABV of approximately 20.8%. ‘On a rock’ ended up with 108ml, a 44% dilution rate, and an ABV of approximately 22.2%.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - On the rocks, or on a rock?</image:title>
      <image:caption>On a side note, during the first 15 minute interval, before checking the final volume, the temperature was periodically checked. ‘On the rocks’ certainly chilled down a lot quicker within the first 5 minutes. However this gap between ‘On the rocks’ and ‘On a rock’ narrowed until eventually reaching a plateau at 15 minutes. The temperature didn’t seem to go much lower than around 2.4°C.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In this experiment, 2 identical Manhattans were made. One Manhattan was poured into a glass that wasn’t chilled, the other poured into a glass that was chilled. The specs for each Manhattan was 45ml Rye Whiskey, 22.5ml Sweet Vermouth and 3 dashes Angostura Bitters. Each drink was stirred with the same amount of ice and was stirred consistently for exactly 30 seconds. They had the same initial volume, same dilution percentage and same final volume. The non-chilled glass was sitting at 17°C (room temp) prior to the drink being poured in. The chilled glass spent 25 minutes in the freezer and got down to around 1°C. After each drink was poured into their respective glassware, their initial temperature was measured, as well as their temperature at 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - How long should you shake your cocktail?</image:title>
      <image:caption>For this experiment, I wanted to find out the final volume in 3 different Daiquiris that were shaken for 3 different amounts of time. To maintain consistency, each drink had the same specs, the same initial volume, shaken in the same set of tins (washed and dried in between) and shaken with the same amount of ice (1 large cube and 1 small cube). One drink was shaken for a short 10 seconds, one for 30 seconds and one for 90 seconds. After shaking each drink it was double strained into a separate glass as if it was being served up in a bar. Once all 3 drinks were made, the final volume was measured.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blogs - How long should you shake your cocktail?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each drink started with an initial volume of 82.5ml. The specs were 45ml Rum (40%ABV), 22.5ml lime juice, 15ml simple syrup. The results for each drink were: 10 Second Daiquiri Final volume: 110ml Water added: 27.5ml Dilution percentage: 25% 30 Second Daiquiri Final volume: 115ml Water added: 32.5ml Dilution percentage: 28% 90 Second Daiquiri Final volume: 140ml Water added: 57.5ml Dilution percentage: 41%</image:caption>
