Whiskey Ingredients

Method

Whiskey Production

  1. 1

    Mashing Process

    Combine rye grain, corn, and malted barley in a large mash tun. Add hot water and stir to create a mash.

  2. 2

    Fermentation

    Allow the mash to cool to room temperature. Add yeast and cover the mash tun. Let it ferment for about 5-7 days until bubbling stops.

  3. 3

    Distillation

    Transfer the fermented mash to a still. Heat gently to distill the liquid into whiskey, collecting the distillate.

  4. 4

    Aging

    Pour the distilled whiskey into charred oak barrels. Seal and store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 years.

Serving Instructions
