The Chemistry of Whisky
The chemistry involved in the crafting of Whisky.
Compound Interest has created an interesting and informative graphic that explains the chemistry involved in the crafting of different types of whisky and the various compounds and esters that result from the fermenting process, phenols from the distilling process, and the whisky lactones that develop during the ageing processes.
A large number of compounds get into the whisky during the ageing process. Amongst these are two compounds that have actually taken on whisky’s name: the whisky lactones. These are, in fact, just isomers of each other, and chemically are named cis- and trans-3-methyl-4-octanolide. Both of these isomers originate from the oak barrels in which the whisky is aged, and both offer a coconut flavour. The cis isomer is the dominant of the two, and has a stronger, spicier flavour.
Foods The Oldest People In The World Swear By
Live long and prosper… thanks to bacon!
This morning, we read that the oldest woman in the world, Susannah Mushatt Jones, age 116, eats four strips of bacon every morning. This, coupled with a June report that supercentenarian Agnes Fenton, age 110, credits her age to three bottles of Miller Light everyday made us realize thatwe might consider changing some things up. Maybe we should be eating less kale and quinoa and more whiskey and ice cream.
Here is what to eat and drink for longevity, according to the oldest people in the world:
Four strips of bacon every morning, and Doublemint gum throughout the day — Suannah Mushatt Jones, Age 116
Three bottles of Miller High Life and a shot of Johnnie Walker whiskey everyday — Agnes Fenton, Age 110
One tablespoon of whiskey in morning coffee — Richard Overton, Age 108
Crispy bacon, fried chicken, and ice cream — Gertrude Baines, Age 115
Three raw eggs every morning — Emma Morano, Age 115 (who added that staying single is good for one’s health)
Chewing on chocolate — Leandra Becerra Lumbreras, Age 127—the oldest person to ever live (she also swears by never marrying)
