Method
Bourbon Base Preparation
- 1
Combine the corn, rye, and malted barley in a large mixing container. Ensure that the grains are well-mixed to create a uniform mash.
- 2
Gradually add water to the grain mixture, stirring continuously until a thick slurry is formed.
Fermentation Process
- 3
Transfer the mash to a fermentation vessel. Add the yeast to the mixture and stir gently to incorporate.
- 4
Cover the fermentation vessel and allow it to ferment at a controlled temperature of around 70°F (21°C) for 3 to 5 days, or until bubbling stops.
Distillation
- 5
Once fermentation is complete, transfer the fermented mash to the copper pot still.
- 6
Heat the still gradually to separate the alcohol from the mash. Collect the distillate, which is the raw bourbon.
Aging Process
- 7
Pour the raw bourbon into the new charred oak barrels. Seal the barrels securely.
- 8
Store the barrels in a temperature-controlled warehouse for a minimum of 2 years to allow the bourbon to mature and develop its flavors.
