Whisky is a premium spirit beverage that is distilled by following long established methods which involves a complex aging process. It is produced by the mixing of various grains with water to form a mash that is fermented with yeast, distilled to generate an alcoholic distillate, and finally matured in wooden barrels or casks.1 This is a complex and traditional process that results in a beverage that has both a high value and high degree of variability.
