Will it suffice to label whiskey as "Golden Exilir”? The enthusiasts would readily agree with that name.
Now, imagine driving down to one of the finest party venues in Cayman, sitting with a view of the boundless Caribbean waters, the sun performing a color ballet in the skies before it takes the final dip into the horizon and you are served a refreshing glass of Whiskey on the Rocks!
Sublime, isn’t it?
Did you know that it can be spelled as ‘whiskey’ and ‘whisky’?
It all boils down to where it is made and confuses many whisk(e)y connoisseurs. The letter "e" is how the Irish like it and has been carried forward by the Americans. On the other hand, the Scots do not use the "e," and the distilleries in Japan and Canada found their lead.
Made from fermented grain mash, whiskey is a distilled alcoholic beverage. Various grains, including barley, rye, wheat, corn, and malted barley and rye, are used in manufacturing.
After it is made, it is aged in wooden casks. That is what makes the whiskey smoother, and the cost is dependent on the aging process. The older the whiskey, the more it will cost!
You will be delighted to find top whiskey brands in our collection, which is why the Wharf is one of the ultimate restaurants in Cayman.
