Whisky Prices In Kenya
Whisky prices in Kenya is the major factor that influences the whisky delivery Nairobi which is among the most popular alcohol delivery services in Kenya. Whiskeys are loved from their dark colour, strong taste but most importantly their prices that cut across the economic capabilities of different people. Whiskies are complex from the facts that they can be produced from any country and from different types of grains like rye, wheat, corn or barley. This brings us to the terms whisky and whiskey which have been confusing to many for a long time. The two terms differentiate the countries from which this distilled spirit is made. The term whiskey means the spirit is made from the United States or Ireland while the term whisky means the spirit is made from any other country apart from the two countries named above. Having said that, let’s now focus on our main topic today, whiskey prices in Kenya and how it affects whisky delivery Nairobi.
Types of Whiskeys In Kenya
Different types of whiskies are made from different types of grains and in different methods. The cost involved in growing the grain and the complexity of the method utilized has a great impact on the price of whisky. Another factor that influences the cost of whisky is the number of years the bottle of whisky has been aged. The more you age whisky the better the quality gets because the whisky gets to suck the flavours of the wooden barrel more and also water evaporates leaving the concentrated high-quality whisky behind. Consequently, the price of whisky increases with age too.
The barrels used to age whisky has a huge impact on the colour of the whisky and the flavours of the whisky. The colour of the whisky is fully attributed to the colour of the wooden cask in which it was aged in and also if the cask was charred or not. Some other distilleries use caramel to darken their whisky for them to look older. This clears the gimmick; the darker the whisky the older it is, that has been used by so many distilleries to reap off money from their clients. Some whiskies like blended Scotch whiskies are aged in charred wooden casks that were previously used to age bourbon whiskies. This makes blended Scotch whiskies to add some flavours of the whiskies which was previously aged in those casks.
