Kubantu, urumuriumuringa uracyarihoni kimwe mubintu byubuzima bwa whisky.Nta gushidikanya ko bifitanye isano nuburanga bwubuhanzi, ariko niyihe mpamvu nyayo ituma uruganda rwa whisky rwakomeje gukoresha umuringa kuva kera?Kuki utakurikiza inzira ya The New York Times hanyuma ugashyiraho icyuma cyoroshye cyangwa icyuma cya aluminium?
Mu mitekerereze ya siyanse yo gushyira mu gaciro no gushyira mu gaciro, tugomba kubanza kubaza niba, hanyuma impamvu.Noneho haracyariho byose bikozwe mu muringa?
Igisubizo ni oya.
Kubera ibikoresho bike mugukora inzoga za whisky hakiri kare, hakoreshejwe ibikoresho bitandukanye biramba kandi bya pulasitike nka farufari hamwe nikirahure cyanduye.
Nkuko buriwese abizi, umuringa wabasimbuye vuba uhinduka ibikoresho byinzozi.Impamvu iroroshye cyane: ugereranije urwego rwo hejuru rwa plastike yibikoresho byumuringa byoroshe gukora no kubumba igishushanyo;umuringa ukora neza cyane mu kohereza ubushyuhe;icyarimwe, iracyarwanya ruswa.
Nubwo bimeze bityo, gukoresha umuringa rwose ni cliché, kandi igiciro cyumuringa ntabwo kiri hasi.
Ibi bikunze gusaba abadandaza gukomeza kugerageza hamwe nibikoresho byazamuye, bikoresha amafaranga menshi, kandi biramba, nkibikoresho byuma bidafite ingese, bikorerwa mubacuruzi bo muri Amerika.
Nkuko buriwese abizi, abanywi babanje gukoresha amasahani yicyuma nka distiller bavumbuye ikintu gishimishije: ibikoresho byicyuma bidafite ibyuma biha whisky uburyohe bwa sulfure, bigaragara ko bitazakirwa neza nabakiriya.
Ugereranije, ikintu cyumutekano wumuringa muburyohe bwa whiski cyemejwe kuva kera nigihe cyamateka, none gukora divayi byemeje inyungu zayo zitamenyekanye nkuko ubushakashatsi bwabigaragaje.
Ibiranga umuringa bituma ihinduka mu buryo bwa shimi mu mwobo ukiri muto kugira ngo ikureho imiti myinshi ya sulfure ihindagurika cyane (cyane cyane dimethyl triacetyl chloride, imiti ihumura itera whiski gutanga impumuro idashimishije), kandi hari n’ingirakamaro mu gukora esters, icya nyuma nisoko yingenzi yimbuto nshya impumuro nziza ya whisky.
Muburyo bwose bwo guhindagura amavuta ahoraho, ibikoresho byumuringa nabyo bigira umumaro mukwibanda kubintu bya chimique bidakenewe, kunoza imikorere myiza yo gusibanganya amavuta, no gutuma uburyohe bwa whiski bworoha.
Ariko ntabwo ari ngombwa gutekereza ko umurima ushyiraho umuringa utandukanya gusa, kandi kondenseri nayo ntishobora gutandukana n’umuringa uzwi cyane w’udukoko twangiza udukoko hamwe nigikonoshwa.
None ni irihe tandukaniro riri hagati yinzoka yinyo nigikonoshwa nigituba?
Nubwo ibikoresho bibiri bibisi byose ari ibikoresho byumuringa, kubera itandukaniro ryimiterere yimbere, igikonoshwa-na-tube kondenseri amaherezo ikora kuri whisky yumwimerere kandi ikagaragaza ibice byinshi kurenza udukoko twangiza.Kubwibyo, vino ikorwa nigikonoshwa hamwe na kondenseri ya tube ifite ibiranga vino yoroheje nuburyohe bworoshye kandi bwiza;
Mu buryo nk'ubwo, udukoko twangiza udukoko ntitwivanga na vino, kandi umubiri wa divayi itukura ufite impumuro nyinshi yifu ya sulfure, plumpage n impumuro nziza yimbuto.Kuri iki cyiciro, bamwe mubakora uruganda barimo kugerageza ibyuma bifata ibyuma bidafite ingese kugirango bakurikirane uburyohe bwihariye kandi bwa whisky.
Mubisanzwe, ntabwo bigoye kwiyumvisha ko ibyangiritse bidashobora kwirindwa mugihe umuringa uri muri kondenseri wifata hamwe na whisky nyinshi.
Muri make, umuringa uragenda woroha.Muri iki gihe, ibice bihuye birashobora gusimburwa gusa, aribyo byitwa no gutererana umuringa nuwakora divayi, nkuko Abanya-Ecosse bita vino itukura ihindagurika muri barrake nshya-igiti gishya ku isoko ry’abamarayika.
Muri rusange, nubwo umuringa uhenze cyane, plastike nziza cyane, guhererekanya ubushyuhe no kwizerwa mumateka bituma umuringa igice cyingenzi mugukora whisky gakondo.
Whisky ya zahabu isohoka mu mucyo utuje kandi ihabwa ibara ry'umukara mu mashami mashya ya oak.Iyi nzira yose ni nkubutatu, ntabwo yimurwa hanze.
