A distillery is a facility where alcoholic beverages, such as whiskey, vodka, and rum, are produced 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. Distilleries often use grains, fruits, or sugarcane as raw materials, depending on the type of spirit being made.
In addition to producing spirits, many distilleries offer tours and tastings, allowing visitors to learn about the distillation process and the history of the beverages. Some well-known distilleries, like Jack Daniel's and Glenfiddich, have become popular tourist attractions, showcasing their unique production methods and heritage.
