Evolution of Scotch and the appearance of the Taxman
Scotch is one of the most consumed alcoholic beverages of all time, after
all it has been around for hundred of years however, little thought is
usually given to the actual origin of this popular drink. As the name suggests,
Scotch was originally produced in Scotland by Friar John Cor. After distillation
was introduced by Scottish monks in 1494, fine scotch became a popular
drink...
To the dismay of Scotch and other whiskey drinkers, whiskey was first
taxed in 1644. This caused a rise in the number of what we would today
call "bootleggers" who made and sold Scotch whiskey illegally. Later in
1823, the Scottish Parliament made it easier for one to own a licensed
distillery and harder for illegal whiskey stills to stay in business. This
began the modern production of Scotch whiskey.
Today, fine scotch whiskey production is much more technologically advanced;
it has to be in order to keep up with the demand for this popular drink.
However, you won’t find fine Scotch made in the U.S; in order to adorn
the name "Scotch" the whiskey must be distilled and matured in Scotland.
