spirits - whisky
Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage made with malt fermentation and its distillation. The grain of barley is moistened in water so that it starts to germinate and thus starts to produce sugar that ferments into alcohol. The peculiarity with whiskey is that once it is germinated, it is dried with smoke coming from specially made ovens. Fermentation is completed giving as a result a frothy liquid similar to that of beer. This liquid is distilled ─twice or three times according to the country, in Ireland and Scotland three times.
Once distilled, it only needs aging so that it can be called whiskey. The longer the aging, the better the quality of the product. The amber look in whiskey is not only due to its aging, but, to the quantity of added caramel. However, added caramel does not alter the beverage’s flavor; it only dyes it
