Gusangira ibirahuri bya whisky

Whisky ubwayo ifite uburyohe butandukanye kandi bugoye, kandi ikenera abahanga mu by'ubuhanga Ikirahure cyo gusogongeraes. Indorerwamo zitandukanye zishobora gusobanura imiterere n'ukuri bitandukanye, bigatuma abantu bumva neza impumuro n'uburyohe butandukanye bw'inzoga. Hariho kandi ubwoko bwinshi butandukanye bw'indorerwamo za whisky ku isoko, nka Quaich, Tunbler, na Smell Glass.

Kuva mu kinyejana cya 16, muri Ecosse habayeho ubwoko bwa whisky bukiri bushya, kandi Abanya-Ecosse bakira neza bagiye bashishikazwa no gusangiza abandi ibyo bagezeho. Iyo bakiraga abashyitsi kandi bagasurana, baryaga umugati bakoresheje agakombe Ikirahure cya Whisky, kandi ikintu cyo gutekesha cyagiye gikomera buhoro buhoro cyitwaga quaich, bisobanura "igikombe" mu rurimi rwa Gaelic rwa kera.

Agasanduku gafite ishusho y'igikombe kahawe ibisobanuro byinshi ku gukundwa kwa wisiki, kagaragaza kwakira abashyitsi, gafite ibyuma bitandukanye byo kugaragaza ibyiciro bitandukanye n'imari, gasangira ikirahuri cya wisiki n'ibirungo by'ubunyangamugayo kubera ubunyangamugayo n'ubucuti, ndetse gahabwa n'imvugo y'ubufatanye mu gihe cy'intambara (gufata amatwi abiri mu gihe banywa inzoga kandi badashobora gufata intwaro).

Muri iki gihe, quarks ntizikiri ibikoresho gusa, kandi abantu ntibakizikoresha mu kunywera. Ariko, akamaro kazo gatuma isura yazo irushaho kuba nziza kandi ikagira agaciro. Mu bukwe, abashyingiranywe bazayikoresha mu kunywera nk'umuhango, abakuru b'ibihugu bazayigurana nk'impano (Masenge May yigeze guha Trump quark mu ruzinduko rwe mu Bwongereza), naho Ishyirahamwe rya Whisky ryo muri Ecosse rizakoresha quark nini y'icyuma nk'ikimenyetso.

Uko ikoreshwa ry'ibirahuri ryagendaga rikwirakwira buhoro buhoro, umuryango w'ibirahuri bya divayi bya Riedel wo muri Otirishiya wamaze imyaka irenga icumi uva mu miterere ya kera yahoze ishimangira gushushanya no kwerekeza ku buryo bworoshye no gukora neza.

Ibikombe bya mbere bya Tumbler byitwaga tumblers, bidafite imigozi kandi bifite hasi ruziga. Ku bijyanye n'ishusho y'agace kazengurutse, hari imvugo ivuga ko biterwa nuko agace kazengurutse gafite ubunini, kandi iyo gakozweho, kazahita gahinduka nk'agace kazengurutse, bikarinda amazi guseseka no kwangirika.

Ariko, mu ntangiriro z'ikinyejana cya 19, ubwo ikiguzi cyo gukora ibirahuri cyagabanukaga cyane, Tamble yari imaze kuba amahitamo meza cyane. Imiterere yayo y'inkoni yoroshye yatumye byoroha kuyigeraho, kandi imiterere yayo y'umunwa mugari yari yoroshye ku bantu bari bamenyereye kunywa hamwe n'urubura. Mu gihe whisky yari ikunzwe cyane, kuvanga itabi na Tumbler byabaye ikimenyetso cya capitalism.

Muri iki gihe, ni gake cyane kubona ikirahuri cy’umutuku gifite hepfo kizengurutse, gifite hepfo igororotse, impande zigororotse, kandi nta mukono urimo. Ibi ni byo bintu bitatu by’ingenzi biranga ikirahuri cya none cya Tumbler n’ishusho ikunze kugaragara y’ikirahuri cya whisky. Byaba Rocks, Old Fashioned, cyangwa Lowball, igihe cyose byujuje ibipimo bitatu byavuzwe haruguru, byose ni ibya Tamble.

Iyo hari ibyiciro byinshi byo guhitamo kuri wisiki, abafite umutima ukunze batangira "gukora nitpick" ku buryo burambuye kuri wisiki, bakita cyane ku gusogongera kuri wisiki. Uyu "mukino wo gusogongera nitpick" ntuhagarara. Kuva ku kunywa wisiki kugeza ku gusogongera kuri wisiki, Tumbler ikwirakwizwa cyane ntishobora guhaza ibyifuzo by'abantu. Mu gihe brandy na divayi byari bifite indorerwamo zabyo zo gusogongera ku mwuga, wisiki nayo yari ikeneye indorerwamo zayo zo gusogongera kugira ngo itere imbere.

Umuryango wa Reidel, waremye Tumbler, wakoze ubushakashatsi bwimbitse maze ukora Vinum mu 1994. Ariko icyaje kuba ikirahuri cyo gusogongera cy’umwuga ni ikirahuri cya whisky cya Glencairn, cyahinduwe n’umuryango wa Raymond ku bufatanye n’abayobozi batanu b’uruganda rw’inzoga rwa Ecosse mu 2001.

Ishusho y’igishushanyo mbonera ituruka ku kirahuri gifite ishusho ya tulip gikoreshwa mu kunywa sherry. Imiterere y’ikirahuri gisa n’indabyo za tulip ishobora kubungabunga no gukusanya uburyohe bwa whisky mu gihe ireka umwuka mwinshi w’inzoga ukara ushira. Yahise imenyekana cyane n’abahanga mu banywera ba bar maze ishyirwa ku mwanya wayo nk’igikombe cyo gusogongera whisky.

Mu iterambere rya wisiki rirushaho kwibanda ku bintu birambuye, uretse indorerwamo za Tamble na Glencairn zisanzwe, hari izindi ndorerwamo nyinshi zisanzwe zamenyekanye kubera imiterere yazo yihariye.

Nubwo Vinum itabaye igikombe cyo gusogongera divayi cyabigize umwuga, iracyakunzwe cyane n'abakunzi ba whisky. Nubwo imiterere yayo ifunguye ituma impumuro yayo igabanuka, yongera igihe cya mbere ururimi ruhuriraho n'inzoga, bigatuma abantu bahangayikishijwe cyane n'uburyohe bwabo bagira ubunararibonye bwinshi.

Igikombe cya ISO ni cyo gikoresho gisanzwe cyo gusogongera ku rwego mpuzamahanga. Igishushanyo mbonera cy’amaguru y’igikombe afite uburebure bwa mm 155, umurambararo wa mm 65 mu gice cyagutse cy’umubiri w’igikombe, n’umurambararo wa mm 46 mu kanwa bigaragaza imbaraga zacyo, bigatuma kiba igikombe rusange cyo gusigamo divayi n’inzoga zivanze kandi kigaragara mu bihe byinshi byo guhatana. Igikombe cyiza cya tulip gifite imiterere y’inyuma gato (rimwe na rimwe kigororotse), kidakusanya impumuro ahubwo gituma uburyohe bwo mu kanwa burushaho kugaragara, gifite impumuro iringaniye n’inzoga yoroshye. Ni kandi igikombe cy’impumuro kizwi cyane mu nganda.

Igishushanyo kidasanzwe ni Neat cup, isa n'umutobe ushaje. Igishushanyo mbonera cy'uruziga kandi gikabije cy'umuringoti bivugwa ko gihuza ibyiza bya Glencairn Cup na Riedel Cup. Igice cyo hasi cyagenewe kuba kinini kugira ngo gikure umwuka w'inzoga kandi cyongere ahantu ho gusohokera uburyohe. Gufunga umunwa bishobora kongera guteranya impumuro, kandi kongera gufungura umunwa bivugwa ko bikwirakwiza inzoga iyo winjira kugira ngo wirinde ko inzoga nyinshi zigira ingaruka ku buryohe.

Ibirahuri bya Whisky, byabanje gukoreshwa kugira ngo birekure umwuka mwinshi ushoboka w’inzoga mu gihe bikusanya uburyohe, byahindutse ibishishikaje kandi bitanga umusaruro. Ndashaka kuvuga gusa ko ibirahuri bya Whisky na Whisky bitigeze bipfa ubusa mu myaka 400 ishize! Biha abantu ihumure rishya no kubara inkuru ku marangamutima atandukanye bahura na yo mu buzima, nko kwishima, kwicuza no gupfusha ubusa.
