Rye, Bourbon, Scotch and More Bourbon – Not Taught In The RSA Course, But Important
A customer orders bourbon, you give him scotch, the customer refuses the drink because it’s not what he ordered, RSA Course extras will show you why. But, Why? Isn’t it all whiskey anyway? Yes, but there are some differences between bourbon and scotch. Not just those two, but Tennessee Whiskey and rye, too. Whiskey is a common name for a liquor that is made world wide. Depending on which country it comes from, whiskey has a specific name, like bourbon or scotch. All whiskey is made from grain and has to be distilled to at least 40%. The differences between whiskies are what grain that is used to make it, distillation percentage, how it is stored for aging and how it is filtered, in some cases. Here is a run down of those differences. The RSA Course online will teach you the difference in drink concentration, for your customers safety.
Bourbon – Going Past The RSA Course
Bourbon is American made whiskey. Bourbon got its name from the whiskey town of Bourbon, Kentucky. It has to be at least 51% corn. It is a heavier liquor and has a richer color, because of the barrels that it is aged in. New, charred, Oak barrels are required, but no minimum aging period. Bourbon can be no more than 160 proof or have an 80% alcohol content. Straight bourbon has to be aged at a two year minimum and added color, flavor or other spirits are prohibited, not for the alcohol content (as the RSA course teaches) but for the customers satisfaction.
Whiskey – For Your Information
Tennessee Whiskey is bourbon. The only real difference is that it has to be filtered through charcoal.
Rye
Rye originated in Canada, is aged in charred oak barrels. It gets its name from what it is made from. It is made from rye, a member of the wheat family. There are not as many rules about making rye. There is no minimum required amount of grain, it just has to have some rye in it. There is no minimal age either (unlike when age matters in bar admission as the RSA course teaches). There is Straight rye, as well, and it has to be aged two years, like bourbon.
Scotch
Scotch is a Scottish whiskey. It is made from malted barley. Malt barley means that they have soaked the grains in warm water and allowed roots and a stem to grow before the prep for fermentation. The malt is then dried over peat fires giving it a richer flavor. It is aged in oak barrels, no less than 3 years, distilled with a no less than 94.8% alcohol content. Is a lighter whiskey. Single malt means that the whiskey came from one manufacturer and is not blended with any other spirits, though it may be blended with different years of the same scotch. Blended Scotch has been blended with other Scotches.
Irish Whiskey
Irish whiskey is made in Ireland. It has the same standards as Scotch, but there are no specification on what wood the barrels have to be that the whiskey is aged in. There is also a difference between pot distilled and column distilled, but usually triple distilled, either way. Also, check out this video below on serving different types of scotch and whiskey.
Knowing Your Bars Drinks – RSA Course Can’t Teach Personal Experience!
There are other distinctive whiskies, but these are a few of the better known. Now you know a little about the difference between the different kinds of whiskey.

There are many reasons for you to become a bartender, and they usually relate to having fun on the job and making countless friends. You will need your RSA QLD (or other state). The bar tender is usually a liked person, and get’s to interact with a lot of people; but apart from that, here are some reasons to become a bar tender. 1. Tips – Even though Australian’s don’t typically tip, a bar tender is the one exception, people sometimes can’t be bothered with change or really appreciate your work and tip you. It is sometimes reported that you can live off tips and put your checks straight into saving. 2. Devoted Customers –
Sometimes when working in a bar, you get to know customers well enough that they tip you their weight in gold one night, and even help you stack the chairs at closing. But of course, this requires you to be liked, so always be friendly. 3. The Money – If you gather enough experience and are good enough at what you do, you can start to work at major bars in city’s and even pull over 100k per year with benefits. Some people don’t consider it a ‘real’ job but they don’t see that you make friends, and money – what more can you ask for! 4. It Sticks To You – When you are a bar tender you have a lot of fun, and sometimes, people like to make a living out of it because they enjoy it so much. Whether you buy a bar from your retired boss or become a professional bar tender, you could go down a strong career path. So there are four reasons to become a bar tender, but remember that before you apply to work in a bar or liqueur serving establishment you have to have your RSA Training certificate, so get online and complete the course today!
In a bar, drinkers may go out and start to play drinking games, some of which involve the bar tender (although the bar tender may not be aware of this), so the responsible service of alcohol course teaches you how to deal with this. The following game is one you should be wary of: Beat the Bar Man,
The drinker approaches the bar and orders a shot drink (whisk(e)y, bourbon, vodka, etc., etc..).
The drinker pays for the drink with too much money (i.e. hand over a $5-bill for a $2 drink).
As the barman goes away to get change, the drinker shoots the shot.
When the barman returns with the change, go to step number 1.
The game ends in a number of possible ways:
drinker falls over (Result: Bar wins).
barman punches drinker’s lights out (Result: Draw).
drinker gets thrown out (Result: Draw).
bar closes (Result: Drinker wins).
This kind of game being played can result in the bar tender becoming agitated or the drinker getting un-necessarily drunk. RSA QLD (and any state) shows you how to deal with these kinds of drinkers in the online course.

There are many different kinds of bars, local pubs, dance clubs, lounges, the list goes on and on, all of which have to comply by RSA Queensland (or any state) guidelines. Most bartenders start out in local pubs or small bars. They learn the tricks of the trade, on the fly, but at some point the thought of moving on to bigger and better does cross their mind. RSA Queensland asks the question, when should you start looking for another job?
RSA Queensland – When it’s time to move on
First, ask yourself if you are an expert on all the drinks that your bar serves? Do you know all the recipes by heart? Can you make a great Martini? Do you know how and when to use all the bar tools? Are you fast enough to keep up in a bigger bar? Have you learned all that you can from your co-workers? If you answered yes to all of those questions, then it might be time to move on. But don’t feel like you have to, because being able to serve well is something that will make patrons happy, and keep them satisfied as RSA Queensland teaches. Next, go to a bar that you would like to work at. Watch the bartender, observe their techniques and speed. Time them, order something that is difficult for you to make and see how long it takes. Ask questions about the requirements for working there.
Matching up the previous bartender – RSA Queensland
Then hold yourself to the same standards that the other bartender had. If it only took them ten seconds to make a drink, try to do the same. If they could pour two bottles, at once, with one hand, you should try to learn this skill and incorporate into your daily routine. If you are able to do this quickly and it doesn’t seem difficult, you may be ready to move on to a new job., but make sure you don’t overestimate yourself and make drinks so fast that they lose quality or alcohol concentration is to high, RSA Queensland teaches that this could do more worse than good. If not, do not be disheartened, finding your weakness is not a bad thing. It allows you to focus on bettering your skills and makes you an asset to your company, and it’s patrons, as RSA Queensland teaches. So jump online and get your RSA Queensland certificate online, via RSA Training online. This will ensure that you have the right skills to bar tend anywhere around Australia
RSA Brisbane Teaches – Bar Tending is as Fun as You Make It
On the whole, bar tending should be fun, and RSA Brisbane (and any city/state) will teach you how to have fun and serve correctly. Days should fly by, while you make new friends, and most people are happy to see you. On the days that are less than joyous, keeping a smile on your face can be difficult. Anything can ruin your day, from a rude customer to having your tip jar stolen. Here are a few ways to keep that frown turned upside down. Rudeness: Put yourself in their shoes. They may have just had the worst day ever and all they want to do is to sit down, relax with their favorite drink. But you either screw up the order, don’t know how to make it, or are out of an ingredient, so they snap at you. You were their last chance of salvaging something good out of this horrible day. Smile out of pity, and remember that you have days like this, too. RSA Brisbane for example, will teach you that you cannot snap back, it will only make the customer more angry. Do Your RSA Brisbane Course Online Today and Learn More about Responsible Service Of Alcohol in Australia. Personal Issues: Your significant other keeps an argument going by calling or texting you. Kindly remind them that you are at work and your foul mood is scaring off the customers, you are turning off your cell and will see them later. Smile out of relief that you don’t have to argue for at least eight more hours. Professional Issues: You despise your coworker. She is too flirty, shows too much skin and steals customers, while ignoring others that don’t look as wealthy. A group of well dressed young businessmen walk in and she jumps in your way, takes all of their orders before you have a chance to breathe. Smile, just smile. It is the only way to keep from yelling at her and remind yourself that while she is ignoring the other customers, you can have all those tips to yourself. Health Issues: Even though you told your supervisor that you were ill, they insisted that you came in because they are short handed. Smile, you will make pity tips. Pity tips are tips earned because of unique circumstances like, illness, first day on the job, last day on the job, pregnancy, divorce… but tips can also indicate that you are doing a good, safe job that complies with RSA Brisbane (and any state/city’s) standards. The trick to finding a reason to smile is to not harp on how bad a situation is, but to look for ways that you can benefit from the bad situation.
