Ingredients for Dalwhinnie 15 Year Whisky
Method
Whisky Production Process
- 1
Milling
Begin by milling the barley to a coarse consistency to prepare it for mashing.
- 2
Mashing
Combine the milled barley with heated water in a mash tun. Stir the mixture and allow it to steep for several hours until fermentation sugars are extracted.
- 3
Fermentation
Transfer the mash to a fermentation vessel and add the yeast. Allow the mixture to ferment for several days, during which the sugars will convert into alcohol.
- 4
Distillation
After fermentation, distill the liquid in copper pot stills. The first distillation takes place in a wash still, followed by a second distillation in a spirit still to achieve a higher alcohol content.
- 5
Maturation
Transfer the distilled spirit into a combination of American oak and sherry casks. Allow it to mature for a minimum of 15 years, during which it will develop its unique flavors.
- 6
Bottling
Once matured, the whisky is filtered and diluted to the desired bottling strength before being bottled for distribution.
