Happy World Whisky Day!!

Here are today’s five interesting food facts about Whisky:

  • A whisky stops maturing after it is bottled.

  • The dark color of whisky comes from the wooden barrels in which it is aged. The wood expands and contracts with the change in temperature, making the movie in and out of the wood. The compounds from wood give whisky its dark color.
  • There are more than 5000 types of Single Malt Whisky.
