INTRODUCTION

You’ve explored the idea of making your own beer and shot down the notion of wine just as soon as it cropped up. Your tastes demand something bolder, richer and stronger. You’re a scotch lover and nothing is going to change that. After all, there is nothing quite like drinking a smooth shot of scotch after a long day to warm the body from toes to soul. Perhaps the only thing that might compare is actually being able to boast that the shot in question came from your own private reserve; one you created with your own hands.

Just imagine kicking back after a long day and savoring the flavors of your own private stock. Picture your friends’ delight when you are able to share a bottle of one of the rarest stocks in the world – a stock of your own creation!

It is possible to make your own scotch whisky, crafted specifically to meet your discriminating tastes. The spirit of kings and the pride of Scotland, scotch is not technically difficult to create, but it does demand a careful hand and the patience of a saint.

Instant gratification, however, is not something that comes with creating a full bodied, rich flavored scotch. It can take weeks to prepare the ingredients and fully bring a scotch whisky through the distillation process. Once that’s done, there is still much waiting involved with maturation. In fact, the longer you wait before you break open a cask, the better the scotch is likely to be!

If you are looking for a do-it-yourself project that offers fast rewards, making scotch might not be for you. But, since you’re a scotch lover, you know that good things come to those who wait. Take your time, study up on scotch, identify the traits you like in your own favorite brand and try to replicate them and you might discover the rewards of making your own scotch far outweigh the time involved in doing so.
