Before you begin your infusions, you need to understand your spirit and the flavors in your spirit to create a cohesive infusion. Let's discuss the important details about these spirits that you may not know but will ultimately be beneficial when you decide to alter the flavors of your spirit. Bourbon is a type of whiskey made in certain parts of the United States. Whiskeys can come from many countries and each whisky has a different flavor profile. Here's a brief guide on the various types of whiskeys:
Bourbon tends to have a sweeter flavor than other whiskeys. You will typically find notes of vanilla, oak, and caramel. The notes will vary depending on the brand and maker. Bourbons can be categorized as one of four ways: grain forward, nutmeg forward, caramel forward, and cinnamon forward.
This type of whiskey tends to have a grassy and peppery taste with an undeniable and signature spicy finish. This is a grain-forward type of whiskey and sometimes contains notes of oak, smoke, or fruit.
Blended Scotch has a smooth malty and buttery flavor with a spicy finish. Single malt Scotch tends to have oaky and woody flavors with signature peaty and smoky notes.
Japanese whisky typically has fruity and floral notes throughout, with honey, orange peel, and white chocolate flavors. It has a mellow finish with a hint of oak.
Irish whiskey is typically light and fruity with a lightly floral scent and hints of nuts and vanilla. The finish is smooth and mellow, unlike the spicier finish of bourbon or rye whiskey. There is an evident cereal grain note and the aging also imparts that signature whiskey oakiness and caramel.
