Distillers are facilities or individuals that produce alcoholic beverages through the process of distillation. This process involves heating a fermented liquid to separate alcohol from water and other components, resulting in a higher concentration of alcohol. Common products made by distillers include whiskey, vodka, and rum. The distillation process typically involves two main steps: fermentation and distillation. During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol, creating a base liquid. In the distillation phase, this liquid is heated in a still, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and then condense back into liquid form, which is collected for aging or bottling.
