whiskey distilling
Making barrel-aged liquor
Whiskey distilling is the process of making whiskey—fermenting grain mash and then heating the liquid to separate and concentrate the alcohol.
The craft involves selecting grains (barley, corn, rye, wheat), controlling fermentation, running the wash through copper stills, and aging the spirit in wooden barrels.
