whiskey distilling
Whiskey distilling is the process of converting fermented grain mash into whiskey. The grains, such as barley, corn, rye, or wheat, are first mashed and mixed with water to create a mash. Yeast is then added to ferment the sugars in the mash, producing alcohol.
After fermentation, the liquid is heated in a still, where the alcohol evaporates and is collected as it condenses. This distillation process can occur multiple times to increase purity. The resulting spirit is then aged in wooden barrels, which imparts flavor and color, ultimately creating the final product known as whiskey.
