The Glenfiddich 12 year old  Caoran Reserve is a whisky known for its distinct peaty aroma, a characteristic that faded into obscurity after World War II. During the war, the scarcity of coal posed a threat to production. Consequently, William Grant turned to a higher proportion of peat for barley drying, infusing the grain with a gentle, smoky essence. Glenfiddich’s Malt Master stumbled upon this subtle distinction while sampling whisky from the 1940s.

Inspired by this rediscovered expertise, they embarked on crafting the new Caoran Reserve 12 Years Old. The term “Caoran” is of Celtic origin, signifying the “glowing ash of peat.” Hence, this special edition is aptly named “Peat Ember.”

FAQs – Whiskey

1. Is whiskey Gluten-Free?

Whiskey, by its nature, is distilled from grains, which may include wheat, barley, rye, or corn. During the distillation process, gluten proteins are typically left behind, resulting in a liquid that is considered gluten-free. However, it’s important to note that some individuals with gluten sensitivities may still react to whiskey. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional and choose whiskey brands that specifically label their products as gluten-free to ensure safety.

2. What is whiskey made of?

Whiskey is primarily made from grains, water, and yeast. The specific grain mixture used varies depending on the type of whiskey, such as bourbon (predominantly corn), rye whiskey (primarily rye), or malt whiskey (mainly malted barley). The process involves mashing the grains, fermenting the resulting mash with yeast to convert sugars into alcohol, distilling the liquid, aging it in wooden barrels, and then often diluting it with water before bottling. The aging process in wooden barrels contributes significantly to whiskey’s flavor and character.

3. How should I drink whiskey?

Enjoying whiskey is a personal experience, and there’s no one “right” way to drink it. Here are some common ways to savor whiskey:

Neat: Pour whiskey into a clean glass and sip it without any additives. This allows you to fully appreciate the whiskey’s natural flavors and aromas.

On the Rocks: Add a few ice cubes to your glass of whiskey to slightly chill and dilute it. This can mellow the flavors and create a more refreshing drink.

With Water: Some whiskey enthusiasts prefer adding a splash of room-temperature water to their glass. This can open up the whiskey’s aromas and flavors, making it more approachable.

In Cocktails: Whiskey is a versatile spirit and serves as a key ingredient in numerous classic cocktails, such as the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and Whiskey Sour. Experiment with cocktail recipes to find your favorite.

Ultimately, the best way to drink whiskey is the way you enjoy it most. Taste preferences vary widely, so feel free to explore different methods and discover what suits your palate.
