Blended Whiskey
A Blended Whiskey or a blended whisky is a blend of different types of whiskeys with addition of neutral grain spirits, colourings and flavours.
Blending whiskey is a commercial venture to make rare whiskey more accessible by adding cheaper grain spirits with minimum ageing life with aged straight or single malt whiskey in a way that the qualities and flavours of the single malt can be enjoyed to an extent while not having to pay the premium price of a Single Malt Straight Whiskey.
Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal, Canadian Club, Canadian Mist, Jameson Irish Whiskey are good examples of premium blended whiskey that have crafted a space of their own in the world of a whiskey aficionado.Dubonnet Rouge
Dubonnet is the Grand Aperitif de France, it is a sweet, aromatic wine based aperitif. It has a wonderful history, and it was in 1846, Joseph Dubonnet created Dubonnet, in response to a competition called by the French Government to find a solution to the problem of it's inability to persuade the French Foreign Legionnaires in North Africa to drink Quinine, the only medicine for Malaria.
Dubonnet is available in Rouge, Blanc and Gold. Dubonnet is known to be the favourite beverage of Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Rockefeller.
The main ingredients of Dubonnet are a Red Wine base with a distinct base of Ruby Red, Ruby Cabernet and Muscat of Alexander, Herbs and spices including blackcurrant, essence of tea and others. Cinchona bark, the original medicinal ingredient derived from the bark of the cinchona tree and cane sugar.
Note that a historical equivalent of Dubonnet is Gin and Tonic, Tonic Water was invented to make European Soldiers in South Asia drink the quinine tonic.
Important Note , Dubonnet is Vermouth, although Vermouth is a fortified aromatised wine, but unlike Vermouth it's primary ingredient was never Wormwood, so Dubonnet is not a Vermouth, although both are very similar and are interchangeable.Bitters
Alcoholic spirits infused with botanicals such as herbs, roots, fruits and leaves, are called Bitters.
Bitters consist of water and alcohol which has been steeped with various herbs, fruits, leaves etc. Bitters are not to be drank neat or even as the base spirit of a cocktail, these are usually concentrated alcoholic concoctions and just a dash or a few drops are all we need to add that taste to a cocktail.
There are exceptions and some bitters like the Italian Amari is consumed without mixing in a cocktail. It has a bitter sweet taste and alcohol content is somewhere between 16%-40%. Generally in Europe its being consumed as an after dinner digestif.
