  • Párlatok - a whisky világa #102

    02/20/2023

    A whisky története az 1400-as években kezdődött és akkoriban az „élet vizének” nevezték. Még nem érlelték, csak ízesítgették, édesítették az ihatóság kedvéért. A mai értelemben vett whiskyről csak a XVII.-XVIII. századtól beszélhetünk. Biztosat nem tudhatunk arról, hogy hol született meg hamarabb, mindenesetre a skótok és az írek versengenek az elsőbbségért. A whisky kezdeti terjedésének a XIX. század második felében az először Franciaországra rátörő filoxéravész adott hatalmas lökést. A filoxéra kipusztította a szőlők legnagyobb részét, előbb a franciáknál, majd Európa többi részén is, emiatt a bor és annak különböző párlatai szinte eltűntek a piacokról. E megüresedett helyekre „nyomult be” a whisky. A whisky elterjedésének másik, sokkal általánosabb oka az angolszász eredetben keresendő. E kultúra jórészt a gyarmatosítás útján eljutott a világ szinte minden tájára. Az USA-ba emigráló írek és skótok magukkal vitték a whiskykészítés és fogyasztás szokását. Az új, amerikai whiskyk megjelenése pedig tovább bővítette a választékot. Adásunkban ezt az egyszerű, mégis sok szempontból különleges és rendkívül népszerű italt Petzold Attila párlatszakértővel igyekszünk körül járni és bemutatni fajtáikat, lényegüket.

Episode Description

A conversation with Luc, my whisky buddy of 16 years, in which we revisit the stories that shaped our love of whisky over the years and made us so curious that we've never stopped exploring it since!

Show notes : Luc uses the word "assemblage" on a few occasions in the interview. When he says that word, what he means is "blend". You'll also hear him say "xérès Ximenez", xérès is sherry in French. You'll have guessed that he's talking about Pedro Ximenez sherry. We're from Québec City Canada, English is actually our second language.

Host : Marie-Hélène Julien

Intro / Outro / Original score : François Julien

Guest : Luc Vallée

Picture : Florimond Laporte

Cover Art : Annie Gingras

Passionate about spirits, wine and beer, I have been enjoying whisky for over 20 years. I dedicate myself to demystifying whisky for the general public. My motto : Whisky should not be so serious! Whisky is about people coming together to share moments of fun! And whisky is for everyone! Trust me! I also am, along with two formidable female colleagues, promoter of the sole whisky festival in Québec, Rendez-vous Scotch & Whisky de Québec. Furthermore, I have the great privilege to act as an adjudicator for the Canadian Whisky Awards.
