什么是三重蒸馏威士忌?

曾经在店里看过一瓶威士忌,并思考过双蒸馏威士忌和三重蒸馏威士忌之间的区别吗?然后继续阅读。在这本关于三重蒸馏威士忌的综合指南中,您将了解这个术语的含义、它的制作方法以及它为何如此受到世界各地威士忌爱好者的青睐。

 

爱尔兰威士忌和三次蒸馏

 

如果您正在查看爱尔兰威士忌的标签,您会看到一个经常重复的短语:Triple Distilled。那么究竟什么是三重蒸馏威士忌?为什么爱尔兰人如此喜欢它?当然,其中一部分源于历史悠久的传统。几个世纪以来,爱尔兰人一直这样做。但这是有充分理由的。将液体蒸馏三遍——与更传统的苏格兰单一麦芽威士忌双重蒸馏相反——会产生一种圆润、更顺滑的烈酒,对大多数人的味蕾来说更有吸引力和更容易接受。

 

毫无疑问,威士忌蒸馏是一个极其复杂的过程,需要数年甚至数十年才能掌握。而使用三个独立的蒸馏器来利用您的威士忌蒸馏物往往更加艰巨。这就是为什么您在爱尔兰以外的地方很少看到它。几代人以来,爱尔兰人一直致力于罐式蒸馏,而世界上其他威士忌生产国则转向工业化的连续蒸馏器,这种蒸馏器运行效率更高,但却剥夺了由此产生的蒸馏物的丰富性和特性(稍后会详细介绍)。

 

But for the discerning drinker, ever a fan of sensational Single Malt Irish Whiskey, the work, time and skill involved in triple distillation is non-negotiable. And so, when it comes to Irish whiskey investment, we choose to work with world-class triple distilled whiskey whenever possible.

您准备好了解更多关于三次蒸馏的历史以及为什么它能够酿造出如此出色的威士忌吗?我们当然希望如此。因为我们在下面的简短阅读中已经很清楚地说明了它。

什么是蒸馏?

 

蒸馏是加热和冷凝酒精以浓缩好的成分同时丢弃不需要的元素的过程。它还具有增加发酵液体中酒精含量的额外效果。蒸馏大师将仔细监控过程,消除充满甲醇、乙醛和其他不利化合物的“蒸馏头”。然后他们耐心地等待收集“心脏”,即浓缩在乙醇中的威士忌蒸馏物,以及使该类别如此特别的独特风味和香气。最终,就像任何钟形曲线一样,心脏部分将开始消退,此时尾部到达,充满了更重的异味。这也将被一丝不苟的蒸馏器丢弃。一旦头部和尾部被切掉,剩余的乙醇就会被进一步蒸馏以产生更光滑、更芳香的最终产品。

 

什么是三重蒸馏威士忌?  

 

Distillation can be broken down into two main categories. There is continuous distillation, which occurs in a still shaped like a column and can be run efficiently without stoppage. The drawback from this industrialised method is that it creates a lighter liquid that robs the distillate of richness and character. 

 

单一麦芽威士忌的首选方法是蒸馏,其中涉及那些被称为罐式蒸馏器的明亮的球状铜容器。爱尔兰单一麦芽威士忌和苏格兰单一麦芽威士忌需要使用蒸馏锅蒸馏。将一定体积的发酵“蒸馏器啤酒”放入球茎部分并缓慢加热至酒精的沸点(约 78 摄氏度),然后通过冷凝盘管收集这些蒸汽。

 

苏格兰蒸馏器将执行此操作两次;首先是在一个更大、更球茎的水洗式蒸馏器中——这给了我们一种“低度酒”,按体积计算,酒精度在 21-30% 之间。接下来进入烈酒蒸馏器,将低度酒进一步浓缩并达到 70% ABV。

 

作为完美主义者,爱尔兰威士忌制造商在这一过程中又迈出了一步。在上面提到的剧照之间是一个佯攻的剧照. 生产时三重蒸馏威士忌,第一个蒸馏过程旨在从发酵液中提取更多的酒精和蒸汽。第三次蒸馏的重点是加强酒精含量,并在威士忌中加入更复杂的芳香风味,如苹果、梨和柠檬的味道。但是仍然处于中间的最重要的假动作是两者都做一点点,帮助浓缩风味化合物,同时也使液体的整体变得圆润和平滑。三重蒸馏的结果,如果工作得当,是一种更纯净、更轻的威士忌。

 

如何蒸馏爱尔兰威士忌

 

从历史上看,爱尔兰威士忌行业是世界上第一个使用罐式蒸馏法生产大量威士忌的行业。如上所述,三次蒸馏威士忌需要这种方法。他们这样做是件好事。它产生了丰富、奇妙的麦芽,这些麦芽帮助爱尔兰威士忌成为了几个世纪以来的全球轰动。

 

还记得我们是如何谈论在那些辉煌的球茎蒸馏器中使用的铜的吗?嗯,这不仅仅是因为它让它们看起来都很漂亮和闪亮。铜有特定的用途。蒸馏器内部的氧化铜在蒸馏过程中与威士忌的化合物融合,以增强其复杂性和深度。第三次蒸馏后,产生的烈酒将被转移到桶中并保持成熟三年,然后才能合法地被指定为爱尔兰威士忌。从那里它将被运往全球各地。该类别的年出口额将接近 20 亿美元,并且是一个不断增长的类别,仅美国的增长率在 2021 年就增长了 16%,并创造了创纪录的13亿美元用于酿酒商. For an industry that was on its knees at the end of the last century due to political wranglings, global conflicts and complex trade wars, it’s a triumphant comeback, to say the least.
