Each episode of this series is meant to have a look at 3 statements I have been repeatedly hearing since I have started my wonderful journey in the rewarding world of whisky (for more, see previous episodes\u00a01<\/a> and 2<\/a>)<\/em>. This third edition has been put together thanks to the daily messages I received through my blog or on social media. Instead of answering you individually, I thought it could be interesting and more beneficial to do it here!<\/strong><\/p>\n
“All whiskies have to be at least bottled at 40% abv to be called whisky”<\/strong> \u00a0–> While this is mostly true for most of the international whisky scene (and define by law) you can still sometimes (very rarely) come across some expressions bottled at 39% – as an example, you may be familiar with this cute release from Mars Shinshu “The Lucky Cat<\/a>“, bottled at 39% and still labelled as whisky.<\/p>\n
