My mom's 2 sisters are having a baby shower for me. My mom passed away when I was a teenager. I am very close to my dad and would like him to be at my baby shower, especially since my mom can't be. He would be the only man there.
Whisky is made from grain. This is what distinguishes it from other distilled beverages like brandy, which is made from grapes, and calvados, which is made from apples. Simply speaking, whisky is nothing more than distilled beer. Like beer, malted barley and other grains are the source of the sugars necessary for fermentation. The sugars in the grain are released by steeping it in hot water. This sweet liquid, known as âwort,â is cooled down.
What Is Whiskey? Whiskey is technically distilled beer. It is made with a mash bill of grain (generally malted barley, rye, corn or wheat) thatâs been heated and steeped with water to convert the starch to fermentable sugar (the resulting liquid is called a âwort.â) Afterwards, yeast is added and the wort is fermented and then distilled.
