选择装瓶酒精强度Choosing a Bottling Strength

威士忌以大约 63.5% 的体积装入新酒桶中;

它以每年 2-6% 的速度蒸发, 加上标准猪头桶的 2%, 有时可能更多“天使的份额”;

在成熟过程中随着大量烈酒蒸发的同时, 酒精强度也会略有下降;
Whisky is filled into casks, when new, at around 63.5% volume. It evaporates at the rate, very approximately, of 2-6% per annum plus 2% for a standard hogshead and on occasion this may be more (‘The Angel’s Share’). At the same time as the bulk spirit evaporates during the maturation process, the alcoholic strength will also slightly decrease.

大多数市售威士忌以 40% 的酒精度出售; 通过添加水和冷却过滤来降低酒精强度, 使威士忌看起来清澈明亮. 

加水会使威士忌看起来浑浊, 冷却过滤却抵消了这种影响. 

但是, 如果您想保持威士忌的最大味道和细腻度, 则应避免冷却以及过滤的方式, 因为这些方式往往会去除威士忌中带有大部分麦芽风味和特性的产品.

如果想要最大的口味和几乎保证清澈明亮的威士忌, 需要考虑以 46% 作为最低浓度装瓶.

目前越来越流行以 50% 的浓度装瓶, 选择以木桶强度装瓶(经过基本过滤过程后). 在未来几年, 木桶强度威士忌偶尔会产生轻微的沉淀, 就像优质葡萄酒一样;
Most commercially available whisky is sold at 40% volume; having been reduced in strength by adding water and chill filtered to make the whisky look clear and bright. The addition of water makes the whisky appear cloudy; chill filtering counters this effect. However, if you want to maintain maximum taste and subtlety of your whisky then chill filtering should be avoided as it tends to removes the products in the whisky that carry much of the flavour and character of the malt. If you want the maximum taste and a virtually guaranteed clear bright whisky you will need to consider bottling at 46% as a minimum strength. Some people bottle at 50% or, as is becoming more popular, choose to bottle (after a basic filtering process) at cask strength. Cask strength whisky can occasionally throw a slight deposit in future years, in the same way as fine wine can.
