PRODUCTION OF SPIRITS

 "Production of spirits"
Whisky : Whisky is obtained by the distillation of grains, particularly barley malt, and is aged in oak wood casks for minimum of 3 years for scotch whisky, a minimum of Irish whisky. Regular scotch whiskies are matured for 3-12 years, premium scotch or Deluxe premium scotch are matured for 12 20 years and the finest old ‘Blue label’ for a minimum of 20 years. Whiskies are coloured by the addition of desired colour caramel. It is distilled either, by the pot still method (which gives body) or patent still method (which gives volume).

WINE TEMPERATURE

"Humidity" Some degree of humidity is required in order to keep wines with cork enclosures from drying out. Even when wine bottles are stored on their sides, one side of the cork is still exposed to air. If the cork begins to dry out, it can allow oxygen to enter the bottle and possibly causing the wine to spoil or oxidize. "Temperature" Keep the temperature constant for extended aging of wine (over 1 year), refrigeration is a must in most parts of the world; even a below-ground cellar is not cool enough. Wine storage temperature should not go over 75ÚF (24°C), for longer than brief spans of time. At 75°F, wine begins to oxidize. An ideal temperature for storing a varied wine collection is 54°F (12.2°C).
