Why do British people call whisky "the water of life"?

Foreigners drink alcohol, which is different from China people. Different occasions, different drinks and different drinking methods. Drink a small glass of sour aperitif before eating, and drink table wine when eating. Table wine includes white meat (chicken, seafood, etc. ) and white wine, and red meat (steak and barbecue) and red wine. Whisky with high alcohol content is drunk after meals or without meals.

Whiskey is a strong distilled liquor, which is made from barley and other grains in oak barrels for many years. Its brewing process is divided into six steps: germination, saccharification, fermentation, distillation, aging and blending. Whiskey is very popular in the west, and the British call it "the water of life". There is also a saying that money, beauty and whisky are the three magic weapons to conquer the world. But few people in China like this "magic weapon", and they are probably looking for the meaning of literature. Think about the wine that even western visa is afraid of, and China people must be vigilant.

Whisky is so powerful and popular that it should naturally have many different flavors. Next, I will talk about the classification of whisky. According to the place of origin, it can be divided into four categories: scotch whisky, Irish whisky, American whisky and Canadian whisky, each with different tastes. Let's have a look.

Scotch whisky

Scotch whisky is brownish yellow and reddish in color, clear and transparent, with a burnt flavor and a certain smoky flavor, and has a strong local flavor in Scotland. Its taste is dry, mellow, round and soft, and it is one of the best whiskies in the world.

Most western countries call spirits the water of life, including France's eaux-de-vie, Spain's aqua vitae, British and English-speaking countries' spirits. Scotland and Ireland used to say uisce or uisge, but now they are whiskey or whisky. There are many arguments, but I personally accept that these spirits are called the water of life because the raw materials come from nature.
