bota.al - Scotch / History of an "elixir"
According to Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England during World War II, had two secret life expectancy, even three: "No pinch sport, just whiskey and cigars". He himself practically, a regular user of both, died at age 90 years. apa alcalina But the particulars of the alleged whiskey as the elixir of life were recognized for centuries as much usquebaugh, as called ancient inhabitants of the British Isles (and from which the name of whiskey) considered apa alcalina medicine. And only much later became a simple drink.
Ancient civilizations, from Egypt to Mesopotamia, already apa alcalina knew how to provide alcoholic substances (wine, beer) from natural fermentation process. However, it was in Asia, around the year 800 BC, which debuted techniques that paved the way for a new way of drinking: distillation. By boiled a mixture of water and plants, and by concentrating steam to unload the wave, extracted aromatic drink with a high percentage of alcohol. From mixtures of rice, cane, from India to southeast Asia drawn (and even still issued today) arracku, a drink similar to Rumi.
Distillation spread to Western Europe many centuries later, brought by the Arabs and the Middle Ages arrived in the British Isles, where they found fertile ground. The year 1494 belongs apa alcalina to the first document which is called aqua vita ("water of life"). Documents apa alcalina and records that year fiscal Scottish read for example: "I give eight units with malt brother John Cor with whom he draw aqua vitae". Was equivalent to at least 1500 bottles produced. The document apa alcalina shows that barley malt distillation (where issued whiskey) was known among the Scots. And it was not very different from that of modern times.
The traditional apa alcalina process had been launched from malting (maltimi). Barley mixed with warm water left in silence from 48 to 72 hours, until the beans begin to buisin grain, being transformed into malt, which then drain the peat fire (fuel typical of Scotland and Ireland, apa alcalina the derived from organic deposits wetland apa alcalina areas). Then continues masching-u, in which wear and dried malt is mixed with water at a temperature of 80 degrees. Malti issued, discounted at almost 20 degrees temperature, then placed in large containers with natural yeast to accelerate fermentation.
The fluid obtained from this finally distilled in two different bins with increasing temperature (80 degrees to 95 degrees in the first and second): droplet vapor condensed, would constitute whiskey. Once completed this phase, starts maturing in oak barrels that can last for several years, and finally whiskey is ready to be filtered, then diluted with water to bring the percentage of alcohol in the 40-45 degrees and be inserted into the bottle.
Before wrap on the counter of the bar, the water of life produced so long as the drug is used. The German doctor apa alcalina advised Hieronymus Brunschwig, in his book "Liber de art distillandi". And in "The Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland" apa alcalina Raphael Holinshed author (1529-1580) said that a certain amount of this elixir "enlightening" and "makes quick thoughts". Among others used for anesthesia and antibiotics and was said to alleviate the symptoms of abdominal pain, paralysis and even smallpox.
We also know that people Skocizë King Giacomo IV (1473-1513) in 1506 paid a barber in Dundee a bottle of water quantity of life after, the previous year had guaranteed surgeons barbers Corporation (predecessor of modern surgeons) production monopoly in Edimburg aqua vitae. An enduring creed in fact, during the handmaiden of prohibition, when the United States of America twenty years was banned trade of alcoholic beverages, whiskey bottle label circulated: "Mixing against cholera".
But the plight of those who assessed the elixir with malt began long before 1920. Since the year 600 tax authorities understood apa alcalina that the production of this liquor, which already produced outside the monasteries, can be beneficial. Charles I of England in 1643 introduced the first tax on whiskey we know. Scottish Parliament added another levy in 1693 and Charles II of England tried to assess whiskey produced in Ireland including riots and protests (but without success).
The consequences of these "fiscal maneuvers" not delayed. Production of alcoholic beverages apa alcalina legally became the prerogative of the rich owners of land (they could pay taxes for distillation), while villagers remain just smuggling. Thus, in Edinburgh, at the end of 600 years, had 400 illegal distilleries and only 8 lawful.
