    Note: The entry point in the barley for the water is also called a "micropyle". For more videos on Scotch Whisky Production: ua-cam.com/play/PLFE4H6ZO6VFYmerOQT0wQDzr2biLIFXEV.html

    Excellent video and explanation. Well done and well presented!
    I would say that doing a head to head between Port Charlotte 10 and PC Islay Barley might give one a good idea as to the differences that barley can have.

    Hi Erik, valuable information for nerds like me, straight to the "re-watch" list. Thanks for another excellent video.
    As for the impact of barley on flavor and following Reinyer's lead, Dr. Dustin Herb (O.S.U.) is headed up research on the subject. Also at the Westland distillery in Seattle, they are experimenting with different varieties focused on expanding the range of aromas and flavors in whiskey, in case you want to dive into it.
    Cheers

    Copperworks Whiskey in Seattle is sort of experimenting with different Barley varieties, one is Alba. They are using 90% Washington grown Barley and wanting to use Salmon Safe Certified. Salmon Safe Cert comes from dry farming.

    Interesting to hear the word “destoners” …I work in a oat plant in Canada with 3 destoners that constantly need adjusting because of incoming grain temp and moisture levels, size, incoming air temp, humidity levels, outside air temp etc

      Makes sense, whether you are harvesting barley, rye, wheat, oats.... stuff is going to get in there you don't want.

    In ancient times "wine" meant alcohol. It could be spirit, beer whatever. Word Winemaking could be referred to distilling

    • @ErikWaitWhiskyStudies

      Where do you get this from? Ancient Hebrew makes a distinction between "shekar" translated as 'strong drink' and "Yayin" which means "wine." Other ancient languages make similar distinctions. Regardless, whisky isn't as ancient as wine and we clearly have other terms that are readily available. I think "low spirit" or would be clearer.

    Erik, What are your feelings on Barley Terroir? I personally believe distillation, as opposed to fermentation in wine making, is far too violent to allow any nuances to translate into the spirit.

      I've got a video on this topic that I will post after I pass the blind tasting portion of the Master of Scotch exam.
