Whiskey distillers are individuals or companies that specialize in the production of whiskey, a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash.
Whiskey distillers play a crucial role in the whiskey-making process. They are responsible for selecting the type of grain, milling it, and mashing it with water to create a fermentable liquid. The liquid is then fermented with yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. The resulting liquid, known as wash, is then distilled to produce whiskey.
