Distillation is the use of distillation equipment to extract the essence from the raw materials, and at the same time, it can also increase the alcohol content. In the process of making whisky, distillation is definitely a key step. During the distillation process, the style of distillation equipment and the related flavors added are the key reasons that affect the flavor of the distilled wine. This article will introduce in detail how to extract distilled wine through distillation equipment to brew whisky.
Distillation is the heating of a liquid and turning it into steam, which is then condensed into a liquid. In whisky distillation, the alcohol and other substances of the spirit are separated in a still.
There are two main ways of whisky distillation: pot distillation and tower distillation. The shape, length and curvature of the swan neck of the pot still will affect the taste of the new wine, while the tower still has high distillation efficiency, but it is easy to lose its personality.
There are three main types of distillers: direct fire distiller, steam distiller and water bath distiller. Among them, the direct fire distiller is a traditional whiskey distiller, while the steam distiller and water bath distiller are more suitable for modern technology.
The main process of whisky distillation is: first soak the raw materials (malt, grains, etc.), germinate and dry, then grind them into powder, mix them with water and yeast, and ferment for a period of time. After fermentation, the mixture is distilled into the original wine. After the original wine is aged in barrels, it is distilled again to obtain the final whisky.
Finally, to summarize, distillation is an important step in making whisky, which can separate the alcohol from the raw materials, and at the same time improve the alcohol content. Different distillation methods and the choice of stills will affect the taste and characteristics of whisky. In the process of distilling whisky, attention needs to be paid to the selection of raw materials, the control of fermentation and barrel aging, and the choice of secondary distillation. Only through strict process control and skilled operation can high-quality whisky be produced.
