#What's The Flavor Difference Between Scotch And Rye? Infographic Can't quite tell the difference between a Speyside Scotch malt and an Islay?
Want to sound sophisticated comparing the flavor profiles of a proper Kentucky bourbon versus a Tennessee whiskey?
Enter Sean Seidell a Philadelphia-based graphic designer who has a knack for visualizing the the many flavors of our favorite foodstuffs.
He's previously taught us all we need to know about cheese beer and coffee.
Now he's taken on the taste of whiskeys from Irish single malt to blended Scotch to American corn.
So it appears that the difference in flavor you get in a rye whiskey which can come from either the U s. or Canada and a Scotch
which are made from malt or grain (or a blend) and has to be aged for at least three years is that ryes tend to be a little spicy
while Scotches have a bit more of a honey flavor. Irish whiskies are generally sweet and oaky and a good Canadian single malt should have a vanilla taste.
Plus now we know which whiskeys to stay away from to avoid that peaty taste (Highland and Islay Scotch though the latter is the only option with hints of bacon fat).
Most varieties share an oaky flavor since many are aged in oak casks and many have a buttery taste.
But have you been detecting the slight eau de biscuit in Canadian rye? You dont need aliens to teach you how to make alcohol...
Leave some grains out for long enough and it rains the right way and boom you have fermented liquid that will get you drunk.
After 15 shots or so they all taste the same; 0) WTF i like infographics as much as anyone
but these idiots are f'ing ignorant...y'all no nothing about whisky/whiskey...Who wants honey
or vanilla flavour in their whiskey? bacon fat or buttery? sounds yech. I want a clean smokey peaty flavour.
Should I crave honey and vanilla I buy an ice cream and for bacon an buttery I'll get a breakfast.
Where do these tasters get their vocabulary from. Whenever I read a write up from wine tasters I want to turn tea total.
Descriptions like with a hint of cinnamon and chocolate and a faint touch of nutmeg make
me want to puke why don't they just write tastes like shit with sugar on and
I know I should avoid it. where in these flavor characteristic is the flavor of whiskey
I personally make using my copper whiskey still? it's not Irish Scottish or Canadian.
Im American though neither from Tennessee Bourbon County or Kentucky but I love my self-made whiskey.
For the people who are disparaging the flavors in the infographic: Have you ever really sat down
and paid attention to the flavors of the food you eat or the beverages you drink?
I am no expert but with a TINY bit of thinking you can discover many tastes
if you try. Flavors change and explode or fade as you first sip the whiskey then swish it then swallow it
and then feel it in your throat. Different parts of your mouth are designed to taste different things--salt sweet tart
what have you. Yes there are hints of vanilla. Or grass. or bacon fat. You just have to THINK K
#Apple Files For Patent On Snap-Band Watch Thingthere's been a lot of chatter about Apple creating a smartwatch--a wearable computer that syncs with a smartphone--on such publications as um this one as of late.
And now Patently Apple has snagged a recently filed patent from Apple which shows what seems to be exactly that:
a wrist-mounted computer. This does not however mean that Apple will come out with a product that looks anything like this.
It doesn't even necessarily mean that Apple is working on anything very much like this. It does mean Apple is thinking about something like this
but the chances that it'll ever actually exist? Who knows. Brian Barrett over at Gizmodo has a good analysis of what a patent filing like this actually means:
but they're not actually that good just yet--they tend to be low-resolution brittle and quite expensive.
Infographic In an interview with Tim cook last December Bloomberg Businessweek asked the Apple CEO what it would take to get Apple back to building things in the U s. The question prompted Cook to share a little-known fact:
And next year Cook added we are going to bring some production to the U s. on the Mac.
Cook didn't divulge the details except to say that Apple is planning to invest $100 million in the move.

Here are 7 reasons why coffee may actually be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.
Drinking coffee is associated with a drastically reduced risk of TYPE II DIABETES. People who drink several cups per day are the least likely to become diabetic.
In prospective studies coffee drinkers have up to a 60%lower risk of Alzheimer's and dementia (16 17 18.
It is very vulnerable to modern insults such as excess consumption of alcohol and fructose. Cirrhosis is the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism
In two very large prospective epidemiological studies drinking coffee was associated with a lower risk of death by all causes (28.
This effect is particularly profound in type II diabetics one study showing that coffee drinkers had a 30%lower risk of death during a 20 year period (29.
Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink which actually contains a decent amount of vitamins and minerals.
In fact coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants in the western diet outranking both fruits
It is also the biggest source of antioxidants in the modern diet. Even though coffee in moderate amounts is good for you drinking way too much of it can still be harmful.
I'd also like to point out that many of the studies above were epidemiological in nature.
To make sure to preserve the health benefits don't put sugar or anything nasty in your coffee!
If anything coffee may literally be the healthiest beverage on the planet. This article was republished with permission from Authority Nutrition.
Coffee also weakens your lower esophageal sphincter allowing more acid than normal to be released up into your esophagus.
@Rogueagent123 So does Soda OJ alcohol lemon spicy foods greasy foods...you get where Im going right?
I would imagine a good salad would prove more healthy than a cup of coffee would be cheaper
(and power drinks) entirely and get some decent sleep than have to continue increasing your coffee intake (and spending).
I myself prefer green tea or tea in general. I would love to know just how much coffee would be considered'moderation'.
If you don't drink juices or something pretty diligently you could enjoy a kidney stone or three like
Consuming raw coffee beans has more health benefits than roasted coffee and what little nutrients are left after roasting are not very beneficial to health.
Caffeine is only a temporary stimulant and it does not have assumed all the statistical wrong conclusions about it health wise.
I have had never to experience the Jam sandwiches My Dad could some times have during the depression.
That was a Good breakfast. Thanks for posting this article. Will drinking coffee negate the effects of prolonged sitting down (recent article?
Most days I will add two packets of green tea to my morning brew just to kick it up a notch.
Gregn913 you add green tea to coffee? I've got to give that a try just to see what it taste likes.
I even heard my mom talking about this diet a few Days ago since one of her friends has lost like 6 kg in the first 15 days!
#When Did Primates Learn To Metabolize Alcohol? A Chemist Reenacts Drunk Historyhumans have been fermenting alcoholic beverages
since as early as 10000 B c. but we've probably enjoyed the effects of natural fermentation much longer than that.
Our ability to digest alcohol might have sprung from a primate ancestor that ate fermenting fruits a new theory suggests.
Humans metabolize the ethanol in alcoholic drinks thanks to enzymes called alcohol dehydrogenase 4 or ADH4.
To analyze how ethanol digestion changed over time Steven Benner a chemist at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution built enzymes in the lab that estimated how extinct primates metabolized alcohol.
although they could metabolize other alcohols like those found in the leaves of plants. Ten million years ago though a common ancestor of gorillas chimps and humans emerged with an enzyme that could digest alcohol 50 times more efficiently than earlier incarnations.
Benner proposes that this ancestor became more terrestrial rather than primarily tree-dwelling. He introduced his theory at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on February 15.
With the availability of fermented fallen fruit on the ground those forest-dwellers with the ability to digest alcohol would have had an evolutionary leg up.
We'll be able to evaluate it with better evidence as we find more fossils from that time period biological anthropologist Jeremy Desilva told Science News. Still this is a good enough excuse to add drinking back into your Paleolithic diet.

I would very curious to study the creative possibilities of minds of recovered eating disorder patients for two reasons:
firstly while an individual is afflicted with an eating disorder the connection between food and I need it is blocked or destroyed.
Secondly as an individual is holding themselves back from eating they are rebelling against the social rules of how one should behave leading me to wonder:

#What Does Cheese Really Taste Like? Infographic Once you go beyond the types of cheese that can be ordered on a Subway not quite-footlong sandwich the world of fancy cheeses can be a baffling one full of strange names and hints of obscure flavors.
Using a paper from the Journal of Sensory Studies graphic designer Sean Seidell put together an infographic exploring the wonderful world of cheese.
In the paper from 2010 researchers looked into how using simpler language can help communicate complicated sensory descriptions.
They found that using high identity traits made it easier to identify similarities and differences between cheese samples.
In graphic form the study's findings provide a cheat sheet for those of us who can spend hours browsing at the cheese counter on a quest for that perfect nutty cheese we tried that one time.
Wondering what the difference is between a longhorn cheddar and a New york variant? Wondering how feta relates to provolone?
To the cheese wheel! The splotches extending out from each cheese correspond to one or more flavors on the wheel.
Gruyere for example seems to have a bit of a pineapple flavor going on while feta has hints of sauerkraut.
I wonder what beer flavor that could pair with? You can see more of Seidell's work on his blog. visua. ly
I'm not sure how I'd use this beyond I don't like Bleu Cheese so I don't think I'll try Stilton or Roquefort.
I don't think I could say I'm looking for a sharp goatey cheese...Oh here it is!
Because I've been around goats and I don't want cheese that tastes like what goats smell like
but more importantly I can't imagine the taste combo or even identify those characteristics in the cheese that I know.
Maybe I'm the minority? And where does Velveeta fall in this chart? Velveeta falls under processed garbage and american cheese and Kraft anything fall under the same category.
Velveeta would not fall anywhere on this chart; it is not cheese. I doubt that it's even edible.
Sounds cheesy. What is velveeta exactly? And what does colby jack fall under? Two slices of rye e
#Alaska Brewery Uses Beer To Make More Beer The Associated press has the story of Juneau's Alaskan Brewing Company
which has installed a pleasingly sustainable new boiler system that takes grain that's been used in the brewing process
and burns it to power the brewery. Other breweries such as Newcastle in the UK have been spent burning grain for fuel before
but mixed with wood or other fuels; Alaskan claims to be the first brewery with an energy system powered solely by spent grain.
What is spent grain exactly? We asked Beersci: When brewers make beer they crush and soak the barley kernels in hot water to extract a large percentage of the sugars found in them.
Once the water is drained off the sugar-depleted kernels are called spent grain. What to do with mounds of this stuff has always been a question brewers have to deal with.
It's not worth very much. Livestock like eating it so you can pay a farmer to haul it away
and serve it to cattle. Magic Hat in Vermont teamed up with a company called Purposeenergy to build a biodigester that turns grain into natural gas.
Sierra nevada has a Hotrot-brand composting system that turns spent grain and other waste into delicious compost
which the brewery uses to grow its own hops. Coors gets ethanol out of their spent grain
(which means it's not fully spent right?);you can pump Coors ethanol into your tank in Denver.
And other breweries turn used grain into bread dog biscuits biodegradable plastics and more. Spent grain is also known as draff.
Associated press Anchorage Daily news Sustainability is the future of business. Instead of heavy-handed legislation that clamps down on profits and productivity the governments of the world need to encourage solutions like this.
If you can make environmental-friendliness profitable instead of a drain on the bottom line you'll get more people on board.
we can finally make our food sustainable not just our beer. I read about scotch makers in the UK doing this years ago and
According to a new study by the CDC the greatest number of foodborne illnesses in the U s. are caused not by raw cookie dough
or undercooked meat or questionable shellfish but by leafy green vegetables. Of the 9. 6 million cases of food-borne illness reported each year 51 percent are caused by contaminated plants;
leafy greens alone contribute 23 percent of the total more than any other commodity. All the meat and poultry commodities combined--beef game pork and poultry--were responsible for 22 percent of illness
and dairy carried 17 percent. Many of the contaminants lurking on leafy greens are noroviruses--the bugs that cause
what most of us call the stomach flu--deposited by food handlers according to a story in the New york times
and sit down with a big bowl of raw cookie dough and your favorite chicken tartare beware:
tainted greens may make you sick but poultry is still more likely to kill you. stomach flu--deposited by food handlersdoes this mean the migrants are taking dumps in the field LOLHOW much of this effect is down to the fact that we are all hyper aware of handling raw meats
and raw eggs and even if we didn't are most likely to eat them cooked
whereas we have no such awareness of the dangers of raw greens and are most likely to eat them raw?
I am curious of how many people wash their fruits and vegetables prior to eating. I have the feeling;
a lot of this illness could be avoided right at the kitchen by understanding better standard cooking food cleanliness.
Add to this a lot of people simply do not know how to cook correctly to kill the bacteria in food temperature
Green vegetables may be contaminated the most food but obviously the vegetables arent spreading their own feces on themselves.
However moving into hospitalizations sees a big rise in meats and dairy while the deaths group I believe is dominated by meat (poultry
I'd assume).@@buell I doubt artificial fertilizers and pesticides will harbour the norovirus. So why mention them?
or the lettuce you had with your lunch. So when my mother was making me eat my green vegetables when
Seeing that green leafy veggies are eaten practically every meal as condiments garnishes salads along with being the staple (raw spinach leaves cabbage etc) in many vegan diets it would seem that statistical probability alone dictate that they cause the most illness due to contamination by outside factors.
Any attention in this area should focus on those factors rather than reducing intake. The benefits of the fiber & nutrition they provide far outweigh the risk for most people!
REALLY PEOPLE??!Your blaming dirty workers for spreading this? Ever think that farms that farm greens may be in proximity to farms that raise livestock?
That has also been linked to livestock/animal waste. http://www. fda. gov/Newsevents/Newsroom/Pressannouncements/2007/ucm108873. htmwash your food and cook it at the correct temperature for the correct amount of time.
By the way there are trillions of different critters bugs bacteria virus yeast and molds in the environment and yes birds bugs and animals dodo on our food too.
Although there was no evidence of the saola Gilbert did find DNA from the Annamite striped rabbit.
Scientists first discovered the animal in a Laotian food market in 1995 but have seen hardly it since.
Gilbert is now analyzing the recent meals of leeches collected in countries including Indonesia Malaysia and Madagascar.
Scientists believe that this rabbit (and its reddish rump) might be hiding in the same areas as the saola.
And here I was hoping that they were going to implant GPS chips in the leaches
but I now need to go wash the dishes with some some Joy. Let's see what happens.
#With More Food Than Ever, Why Is Hunger On The Rise? Virtualization is a powerful tool for improving the real world.
when it comes to food. Fred Kaufman begins his new book Bet the Farm: How Food Stopped Being Food by identifying a troubling paradox of modern food production.
In 2008 farmers produced more grain than ever enough to feed twice as many people as were On earth.
How could we produce more food and more hunger? The answer Kaufman writes is that food became virtualized or in this case financialized.
Instead of using data systems to find sensible ways to distribute real food we have used increasingly them to trade virtual food as a speculative object much like the complicated financial products that helped pump up the housing bubble.
The result: Prices skyrocket real food sits uselessly people starve. We have used increasingly data systems to trade virtual food as a speculative object.
Creating virtual demand is especially dangerous now because real demand is still growing and as the investment strategist Jeremy Grantham reported last fall in the journal Nature farmers are struggling to keep up.
Growth in the productivity of grains has fallen to 1. 2 percent a year Grantham reports
and yet paradox within paradox it is the commodities markets themselves that historically have been our best source of information about the food supply.
Access to food clean water and housing is the problem; accessing these items and affording them too.
Yes the food is here the problem is even if the farmer gave it away most of the world's poor cannot even afford the shipping to get it to them.
or 2 years of the 30 year shelf life of dried grain is processed into fuel (ethenol) or animal feed...
And ABC news reported that American's discard enough food every year to fill 730 football stadiums.
This is because people buy too much food. The problem isn't farmers struggling. Stock groceries with just enough food to feed America then ship the rest to Africa
-and that's not a conundrum. continuing from my other comment this will result in less waste and fewer starving
Food needs to BE RATIONED-even in America. We have too much food as evidenced by obesity.
Farms grow TOO MUCH food. Our relationship to food is unnatural and more foods are ready to eat than ever before even at the grocery store
which didn't have ready to eat food 30 years ago and longer. On the other hand hunger may be the solution to obesityand maybe starvation is just natural selection at work.
But don't say farmers can hardly keep up because that isn't true. The problem is one of distribution...
and compassion...and priorities..not the lands ability to grow. increase in food=increase of populationwhy macit has been shown
and proven that the human species desire to procreate is maintain even during starving situations with no hope for the future.
