Dataset on the total phenolic contents and total anti-oxidants capacity in commercially available whiskey

Abstract

Data in this article are acquired from 46 naturally distilled whiskey. Whiskey samples were produced in the United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Scotland, and Canada. Samples differ with their type of distillery including (Blended, finest blended, Malted, single Malted, rye, straight Rye, special blended, and special reserved), years of aging, and ethanol percentages. The contents of beneficial bioactive components including total phenolic contents and total anti-oxidants activity and the correlation between them were addressed.
