Method
Bourbon Production
- 1
Mashing
Combine the corn, wheat, and barley in a large mash tun. Add distilled water at a temperature of 150°F (65°C) and allow the grains to mash for about 1-2 hours.
- 2
Fermentation
Once mashing is complete, cool the mash to around 70°F (21°C) and add the yeast. Allow the mixture to ferment for about 5-7 days until bubbles cease.

Distillation
Transfer the fermented mash to a still and distill the liquid twice to achieve a higher alcohol content. Collect the 'heart' portion of the distillate.

Filling Barrels
Fill the new charred oak barrels with the distilled bourbon. Seal the barrels tightly.

After 12 years, extract the bourbon from the barrels, filter if necessary, and bottle the bourbon for sale.
