Ukwabelana ngezingilazi ze-whisky

I-Whisky ngokwayo inezinhlobo ezahlukene eziyinkimbinkimbi, futhi idinga uchwepheshe Ingilazi YokunambithaIzingilazi ezahlukene zingachaza izitayela namaqiniso ahlukene, okuvumela abantu ukuthi bazizwe ngokunembile amaphunga nokunambitheka okuhlukile kotshwala. Kukhona nezinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene zezingilazi ze-whisky emakethe, njenge-Quaich, i-Tunbler, kanye ne-Smell Glass.

Kusukela ngekhulu le-16, iScotland ibilokhu inohlobo lwe-whisky olusafufusa, futhi abantu baseScotland abanomoya wokungenisa izihambi bebelokhu benomdlandla wokwabelana ngezinto abazifezile. Lapho bamukela futhi bebingelela izivakashi, babezothosa nge-whisky Ingilazi yeWhisky, futhi isitsha sesinkwa esithosiwe esaqina kancane kancane sabizwa ngokuthi i-quaich, okusho ukuthi "indebe" ngolimi lwesiGaelic sasendulo.

Isitsha esimise okwesitsha sinikezwe okuqukethwe okwengeziwe ngokuthandwa kwe-whisky, okufanekisela ukungenisa izihambi, sihlotshiswe ngezinsimbi ezahlukahlukene ukuveza izigaba ezahlukene kanye nezimali, sihlanganyela ingilazi ye-whisky nama-quark ngenxa yobuqotho nobungane, futhi sinikezwe ngisho nokubonakaliswa kobudlelwano ngesikhathi sempi (sibambe izindlebe ezimbili ngenkathi siphuza futhi singakwazi ukuthatha izikhali).

Namuhla, ama-quark awasezona nje izitsha, futhi abantu abasawasebenzisi ekuphuzeni. Kodwa-ke, ukubaluleka kwawo okucebile okungokomfanekiso kwenza ukubukeka kwawo kube nencazelo eyengeziwe kanye nesithunzi. Emishadweni, abashadayo bazowasebenzisa ukuphuza njengomkhuba, izinhloko zemibuso zizowashintshanisa njengesipho (u-Anti May wake wanika uTrump i-quark ngesikhathi evakashele e-UK), kanti i-Scottish Whisky Association izosebenzisa i-quark enkulu yensimbi njengophawu.

Njengoba ukusetshenziswa kwengilazi kwanda kancane kancane, umndeni wase-Austrian Riedel wine glass wachitha iminyaka engaphezu kweyishumi ehlukana nobuhle bakudala obabugcizelela ukuqoshwa okuhlotshisiwe nokuqhubekela phambili ekulula nasekusebenzeni kahle.

Izinkomishi ze-Tumbler zakuqala zazibizwa ngokuthi ama-tumbler, angenazo izibambo futhi anephansi eliyindilinga. Ngokuphathelene nesithombe sephansi eliyindilinga, kunesisho esithi kungenxa yokuthi iphansi eliyindilinga lijiyile, futhi lapho indebe ithintwa, izoziqondisa ngokushesha njenge-tumbler, ivimbele uketshezi ukuthi lungachitheki futhi luchitheke.

Nokho, ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19, lapho izindleko zokukhiqiza ingilazi zehliswa kakhulu, iTamble yayisivele iyisinqumo esihle kakhulu. Umklamo wayo oqondile wenza kwaba lula ukuwufinyelela, futhi umklamo wayo obanzi wawulula kakhulu kubantu ababejwayele ukuphuza neqhwa. Ngesikhathi i-whisky yayithandwa kakhulu, inhlanganisela ye-cigar ne-Tumbler yaba uphawu lwe-capitalism.

Kulezi zinsuku, akuvamile ukubona ingilazi ye-Tumbler enezansi eziyindilinga, enezansi ezisicaba, imiphetho eqondile, futhi engenasiphatho. Lezi yizici ezintathu eziyinhloko zezibuko ze-Tumbler zanamuhla kanye nesithombe esivame kakhulu sezibuko ze-whisky. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yi-Rocks, Old Fashioned, noma i-Lowball, uma nje zihlangabezana nezindinganiso ezintathu ezingenhla, zonke ziyinzalo kaTamble.

Uma kunezinhlobo eziningi ongakhetha kuzo nge-whisky, labo abanenhliziyo ebukhali baqala "uku-nitpick" imininingwane ye-whisky, benaka kakhulu ukunambitha i-whisky. Lo mdlalo "woku-nitpick" awupheli. Kusukela ekuphuzeni i-whisky kuya "ekunambitheni" i-whisky, i-Tumbler esakazwa kabanzi ayisakwazi ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zabantu. Ngesikhathi lapho i-brandy newayini zazinezingilazi zazo zokunambitha zobungcweti, i-whisky nayo yayidinga izingilazi zayo zokunambitha ezizinikele ukuze ithuthukiswe.

Umndeni wakwaReidel, owasungula iTumbler, wenza ucwaningo olunzulu futhi wakhiqiza iVinum ngo-1994. Kodwa okwaba yingilazi yokunambitha yobungcweti kwakuyingilazi ye-whisky yaseGlencairn, eyaguqulwa umndeni wakwaRaymond ngokubambisana nabaholi abahlanu befektri yokudayisa utshwala yaseScotland ngo-2001.

Ugqozi lomklamo luvela engilazini emise okwe-tulip esetshenziswa lapho kuphuzwa i-sherry. Umklamo womlomo wengilazi ofana nezimbali ze-tulip ungagcina futhi uqoqe ukunambitheka kwe-whisky ngenkathi uvumela inani elikhulu lomhwamuko wotshwala ovuthayo ukuba unyamalale. Yasheshe yaqashelwa ngabapheki be-bartender abangochwepheshe futhi yasungula isikhundla sayo njengendebe yokunambitha i-whisky.

Ekuthuthukisweni kwe-whisky okugcizelela kakhulu imininingwane, ngaphezu kwezibuko ezivamile ze-Tamble ne-Glencairn, kunezinye izibuko eziningi zakudala ezidumile eziye zaqashelwa ngezitayela zazo ezihlukile.

Nakuba iVinum ingazange ibe yindebe yokunambitha i-whisky yobungcweti, isathandwa kakhulu ngabathandi be-whisky. Nakuba ukwakheka okuvulekile kwenza iphunga libe buthaka, kwandisa isikhathi sokuqala sokuxhumana phakathi kolimi newayini, okuvumela abantu abakhathazeke kakhulu ngokunambitha ukuba babe nokuhlangenwe nakho okwengeziwe.

Indebe ye-ISO iyindebe ejwayelekile yokunambitha kwamanye amazwe. Umklamo oqinile ojwayelekile wemilenze yendebe ephakeme engu-155mm, ububanzi obungu-65mm engxenyeni ebanzi kakhulu yomzimba wendebe, kanye nobubanzi obungu-46mm emlonyeni kubonisa ukuqina kwayo, okwenza ibe yindebe yendawo yonke yewayini notshwala futhi ivele ezikhathini eziningi zokuncintisana. Indebe ye-tulip enhle inomklamo ovulekile kancane (ngezinye izikhathi ngisho oqondile), ongaqoqi iphunga kodwa wenza ubumnandi emlonyeni buvelele kakhulu, onephunga elilinganiselayo notshwala obuthambile. Futhi iyindebe yephunga lobuchwepheshe edumile embonini.

Umklamo oyingqayizivele kakhulu yi-Neat cup, ebukeka njenge-sprittoon yakudala. Kuthiwa umklamo oyindilinga noweqile womphetho uhlanganisa izinzuzo ze-Glencairn Cup kanye ne-Riedel Cup. Ingxenye engezansi yenzelwe ukuba ibanzi ukuze kukhishwe umhwamuko wotshwala futhi kwandiswe indawo ukuze kuphume ukunambitheka. Ukuvala umlomo kungaphinda kuqoqe iphunga futhi, kanti ukuvula umlomo futhi kuthiwa kusabalalisa utshwala lapho ungena ukuze kugwenywe ukugcwala ngokweqile kotshwala okuthinta ukunambitheka.

Izingilazi ze-whisky, ezaklanywa ekuqaleni ukuze zikhiphe umhwamuko wotshwala omningi ngangokunokwenzeka ngenkathi ziqoqa izinto zokunambitheka, seziphenduke zaba ezithakazelisa kakhulu neziveza imizwa. Ngifuna nje ukusho ukuthi izingilazi ze-whisky neze-whisky azikaze zichithwe eminyakeni engama-400! Zinikeza abantu induduzo entsha kanye nokuxoxa izindaba ngemizwa ehlukene abayitholayo empilweni, njengenjabulo, ukuzisola, kanye nokulahlekelwa.
