Gifts For Whiskey Lovers

Does one of your friends love drinking whiskey and you’re planning on sending them Gifts for Whiskey Lovers? Whiskey is a kind of spirit alcohol drink that came from a fermented grain mash. Whiskey’s production starts with malting, which is the procedure where barley needs to be mixed with starch to transform it into soluble sugars to come up with alcohol.

After the malting procedure, the process where the grist is mixed with warm water. When the malt combines with water, the liquid will be called “mash.” The mash will be placed into a large container which is called “mash tun” and be stirred for several hours. During the process of stirring, the sugar in the malt will be gone, and the liquid will be called “wort.”

When the wort got chilled, it will be transferred into large tanks called “washbacks,” where fermentation takes place. In this procedure, the manufacturer will add yeast to transform the sugar into alcohol. Commonly, fermentation takes 48 hours, and will turn into a “wash.” This liquid will have an alcohol strength of 5-10% alcohol by volume.

For the last procedure, the “wash” will be distilled to become whiskey. In Scotland, they do the distillation process two times while in Ireland, they make it three times. After the distillation procedure, the whiskey will be kept in an oak cask and stored. In Scotland, they use to keep whiskey for at least three years to be formally called whiskey.
