Konke Ku-Barrel: Imiphumela Yokweguga Ngotyyela

Njengomntwana okhula ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, i- whiskey , i- brandy , nezinye izinhlobo zokuphuza utshwala ziba ngcono kakhulu njengoba bechitha iminyaka bephumula emgqonyeni. Inqubo yokuguga ibalulekile ezitheni eziningi zokuphuza utshwala njengoba kubanika umbala nokuvutha esikulindele.

Kuyini Ukuguga?

Ukuguga kuyinkqubo yokugcina imimoya ene-distilled (noma iwayini) emibhawulweni isikhathi esithile. Umgomo wokuvuthwa ukukhipha ama-flavour amaqabunga obuhlaza obuhlaza okwedlulele ngenkathi ufaka izici ezihlukene zokunambitheka ezitholakala enkuni yomgqomo.

Imiphongolo, noma amasokisi, ngokuvamile ayenziwa nge-oak, okuyinto ngezinye izikhathi idalwe. Ezinye izinkuni zingasetshenziswa, futhi uhlobo oluthile lwezinkuni ezisetshenzisiwe ludlala indima enkulu ekunqumeni iphrofayili yokugcina yenkanuko yalowo moya.

• I-Brandy ne-whisky yi-liquor ejwayelekile kakhulu edinga ukuguga. Izitayela eziningi zidinga ukuchitha isikhathi esincane (ngokuvamile iminyaka engu-3) emabhaleni ngaphambi kokufaka ibhodlela.
• Ama- rums amaningi kanye nama- tequila asebekhulile, nakuba ukuguga akuyona imfuneko yazo zonke izitayela zalezi ziselo.
• Imimoya yekhwalithi ephezulu ikhulile isikhathi eside futhi inamanani entengo ukubonisa lesi sikhathi esengeziwe sokuxuba. Isibonelo, isikhombisi esineminyaka engu-50 ubudala sizoba kubi kakhulu kunesikhombisi esineminyaka engu-10 ubudala.

Isikhathi se-Trivia: Izisebenzi ezakha kanye nokulungisa imiphongolo zibizwa ngokuthi i-coopers. Amanye ama-distilleries ayenobambiswano bawo ukuze benze imiphongolo yabo kuyilapho abanye basebenzisa izinsizakalo zebhizinisi elizinikele ekwakheni imiphongolo.

Iyiphi Impumelelo Okuguga Okunezolimo?

Njengoba utshwala singena emgqonyeni kucacile futhi kungenasiphelo, kufana ne- vodka . Phakathi nesikhathi salo emgqonyeni, izothatha ama-flavour nemibala ekhuni futhi ibe umoya omnyama esiwajwayele ebhodleleni.

Okokuqala, uzobona ukuthi utshwala obudala lube mnyama kunephuzo elingenalutho.

Cabanga ngalokhu: i-whiskey inombala obomvu noma obomvu ngenkathi i-vodka icacile. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi (iningi) i-whiskey ikhulile futhi i-vodka ayikho.

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi kukhona okuhlukile kulokhu nasemhlabeni we-whisky, i- moon isine isibonelo esiphelele ngoba i-whisky engakahlali. I-Pisco yisinye isibonelo njengoba lo mkhiqizo ongeke ukwazi, ngokomthetho, ukuthi usekhulile ngokhuni. Zombili i-moonshine ne-pisco zicacile futhi zingenambala.

I-Flavor of the Barrel

Okubaluleke ngaphezu kombala yi-flavour eyongezwa kumimoya esekhulile. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, lokhu 'ukunambitheka kokunambitheka' kudonsa noma yikuphi amanothi ahlukumezayo atholakele ku-distillate (ukuphuza utshwala ngokuqondile).

Ngokuvamile uzofunda ukubuyekezwa kwe-whiskey ekhuluma ngokuthi 'oakiness' noma 'ama-undertones we-oak charred.' Njengoba umoya uxhumane nezinkuni, kukhishwa amanye alabo abathandayo. Kufana kakhulu ne- saumon yokugcoba emgodini womsedari .

Kuye ngezinkuni ezisetshenziswa emgqonyeni, uzothola flavour ehlukene. Iqoqo elikhulu le-Woodford Reserve lama-bourbons yisibonelo esihle salokhu. Njalo ngonyaka lo mkhiqizo ushicilela uhlelo olulinganiselwe lwe-whisky kanti umehluko uvame ukulula njengombhobho wokuqeda.

Isibonelo, bazothatha i-bourbon elidala esitholile nsuku zonke siyibeke emgqonyeni okhethekile ukuze 'siqede'.

I-Maple Wood Finish kusukela ngo-2010 yayinqunyiwe kunomsoco kune -Oak Oak of 2009 . Imiphongolo ye-whiskey ka-2009 yabe isetshenziselwa bese ihlelwa ngaphandle iminyaka engu-3-5 ngaphambi kokugcwalisa. I-bourbon eyabangela yayiyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu kunanoma yikuphi okwakushicilelwa nguWorkford kuze kube manje ngoba izinkuni ngokwazo zadlulile ezinkathini eziningi zonyaka.

Kuyinto evamile kakhulu ukuthi ama-distilleries adlale nezinhlobo zezinkuni ezisetshenziswa emiphongolweni yabo futhi abathandekayo bavame ukubheka phambili ekuthandeni okusha. Ukunambitheka kotshwala kuzophinde kuthinteke ekusetshenzisweni kwangaphambili komgqomo.

• Imiphongolo eyayineminyaka edala ubudala i-sherry ijwayelekile kakhulu ekugugeni kwe-whisky, ikakhulukazi nge-scotch. Lawa ma-whiske angase abe ne-sweet, i-ithoni efana newayini kule flavour.
• I-Bourbon ingaba yinde kuphela emgqonyeni omusha , ngakho ayinakusetshenziswa yi-distillery ngemuva kwebheki yokuqala. Ama-tequila amaningi, ama-rum, namanye ama-whisky brand azothenga le mibhoqo yokuguga, ukunikeza imimoya yabo ukunambitheka amanothi okukhumbuza i-bourbon.

• Amabhizinisi afana noNovo Fogo Cachaca enza iphuzu lokusebenzisa izinkuni eziyingqayizivele emiphongolweni yazo ukuze enze imibono ehlukile yemimoya yabo evulekile.

Yebo, kufanele uthole injabulo uma umkhiqizo uzama ukubonisa utshwala obudala emgqonyeni omusha, ikakhulukazi uma kungenye yezintandokazi zakho. Eqinisweni, kufanele uzame umoya omdala ongekho emthethweni ngokumelene ne-bottling ejwayelekile. Kuzokunika ukwazisa okuphelele ngemiphumela yokuguga.

Isikhathi se-Trivia: Ngokungafani namawayini, imimoya e-distilled ayithuthuki ngeminyaka uma ikhona ebhodleleni. Uma nje zingavulwa, i-whisky yakho, i-brandy, i-rum, nokunye okunjalo ngeke kuguquke futhi ngokuqinisekile ngeke bavuthwe ngokuqhubekayo ngenkathi belinde eshalofini.

Indlela Yokutshela Isikhathi Sotshwala

Akuwona wonke umoya ongenalutho osukhulile kanti abanye kumele bahlangabezane nezimfuneko ezingenani ezizofakwa ngaphakathi ekilasini elithile. Ngokwesibonelo:

• I-malt scotch engabodwa kanye nama-whiskeys ase-Ireland kufanele wonke asebenze iminyaka engaphansi kweminyaka emithathu.
• U-Añejo tequila kumele abe neminyaka okungenani unyaka owodwa kodwa engadluli eminyakeni engama-3 (ngemva kweminyaka emithathu, kuthathwa njengenye i-añejo eyengeziwe).
• Eminye imimoya, efana ne-rum, ayikho isidingo sokuguga.
• I-Vodkas kanye nama-gins ngokuvamile avulekile.

Izikhathi eziningi, ikakhulukazi uma kwenzeka i-whiskey, ilebula izobonisa iminyaka yobudakayo. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi uma umkhiqizo ufuna ukukhombisa ukuthi uneminyaka engakanani ibhodlela.

Amanye amalebula awabonisi nhlobo nhlobo. Lokhu kuvame ukuthi ngoba i-distiller ixhomeke esikhathini esijwayelekile sokuguga, futhi iyoyilungisa ngokusho ukunambitheka. Isibonelo esihle salokhu yiMaraki womenzi , osekudala iminyaka engaba ngu-6. Ngaleso sikhathi, ihlolwe futhi ikhulile ngokuqhubekayo uma kudingeka noma, ngokusho komkhiqizo, "ize ikhule ngokugcwele."

Kuthiwani Mayelana Nemimoya Ehlanganisiwe?

Uma utshwala obuhlanganisiwe (ama-rum ne-whiskeys ejwayelekile) kubhalwe ngesitatimende seminyaka kulelebuli, ngokuvamile kubonisa iminyaka yobudaka obuncane kunazo zonke kulo mxube. Isibonelo, ibhodlela le- Scotch elineminyaka eyi-25 ubudala elidala elihlanganisa i-whiskeys ehlukeneyo ngayinye ekhulile iminyaka engama-25. Amanye ama-whiskeys asetshenzisiwe angase abe mdala kunaleyo.

Kungani i-Whisky igugile kakhulu kuneRum and Tequila?

Kungani singaboni ama-rums amaningi aneminyaka engu-50 noma ama-tequila eneminyaka engu-20 ubudala? Impendulo elula yisimo sezulu.

Cabanga ngokungafani kwesimo sezulu phakathi kwezindawo ezinkulu ze-whisky ezifana ne-United States, Canada, Ireland, naseScotland ngokumelene neMexico lapho kukhishwa khona i-tequila naseCaribbean naseNingizimu Melika lapho iningi le-rum lenziwa khona. Isimo sezulu esifundeni yisona sici esiyinhloko ukuthi umoya udinga isikhathi esingakanani ukuze ube neminyaka emihle.

Kukhona njalo ngaphandle kwebhizinisi lotywala! I-Appleton Estate iye yadedela i-rum engama-30 no-50 ubudala. Ngokufanayo, u-Asomborso une-añejo tequila eneminyaka engu-11 ubudala.

Ezimweni ezishisayo, inqubo yokuguga ngokwemvelo iqhuma ngakho akudingekile ukugcina i-tequila noma i-rum emabhaleni iminyaka engaphezu kweminyaka embalwa. I-Tequila ifinyelela phezulu eminyakeni engaba ngu-2 kuya kwengu-3 kanye nama-rum aphakathi kweminyaka engu-8.

Nokho, esimweni seRum, isikhathi sizoxhomeka kakhulu endaweni lapho kukhiqizwa khona, okungaba khona emhlabeni wonke. I- rum esebekhulile eNew England ingadinga iminyaka engaphezu kwemibili kuya kwezingu-3 emgqonyeni kunamaramu ase-Caribbean.

Ngokuphambene nalokho, iningi le-whiskey ne-brandy distillers lisenyakatho ye-hemisphere ezindaweni ezithola ukushintshwa okuphawulekayo konyaka ekushiseni. Ukushisa okwedlulele nokushisa kanye nezikhathi ezincane phakathi kokudinga isikhathi eside emiphongolweni ukuze uthole ama-mellowing ne-barrel amanothi ku-whisky.

Uzoqaphela ukuthi ngaphezulu enyakatho i-whiskey, isikhathi eside sisekhulile. Yingakho kungavamile ukubona isikhala esiphelele iminyaka engu-25 ngenkathi amabhonboni angcono kakhulu angasebenzisa iminyaka engu-7 emgqonyeni.

Isikhathi se-Trivia: Ngisho nendawo yomgqomo ngaphakathi kwendawo yokugcina indawo (lapho imigoqo igcinwa khona ngesikhathi sokuguga) ingathinta utshwala. Ama-distilleries amaningi akhetha ukushintshanisa imiphongolo kusukela phezulu kuze kube phansi eminyakeni edlule ngenxa yezinga lokushisa elalizitholakala ngaphakathi kwalezi zakhiwo zokugcina izinto.
