How is whisky made?

World-renowned sommeliers unanimously agree that English whisky is the first world famous wine, produced in Scotland.

Whisky originated in a small town on Alai Island on the west coast of Scotland. The island is rich in barley, and people have been using traditional methods to make wine. Spread the soaked barley on the bud bed, turn it constantly to make the barley germinate evenly, and then bake it with local peat with special fragrance. The process is very complicated. Ailai Island is famous for producing whisky.

There are 8 wineries in the town with more than 1000 workers. Some breweries mix barley and corn to make wine. In the factory, bags of clean corn are put in an oversized pressure cooker and cooked at a specific temperature. After the corn is cooled, it is put into another container and mixed with malt to convert starch into sugar. The sugar solution is pumped into a vat through a rotary vacuum filter, and then yeast is added to ferment into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcohol enters the distiller through the pipeline, and the extracted pure alcohol is distilled and stored in oak barrels, and then transported to the warehouse for long-term strict storage.

Whisky must be stored in oak barrels for 3 years, and some whiskies must be stored for 10 years, 20 years or even longer. After several years of storage, the wine was transported to a large bottling plant in Kilmaid and mixed with mixed wine with good color, aroma and taste. The bottling work is controlled by computer. According to the information processor, open the barrel plug on the conveyor belt, let the wine flow into the wooden downpipe, then pump it into the blender to make the alcohol consumption reach an accurate level, then enter the vat, then add it into the clear and transparent Scottish drinking water of Lomond Lake, keep the concentration, filter it and bottle it.

How did whisky get its name? It is said that in 500 AD, some monks came to the Scottish Highlands to preach to the Celts. They brought a drink called "Aguavita", which means "water of life". Celts began to like this drink and called it "whiskey tourmaline". Later, the word "Bixi" was omitted and it was called whiskey.

The annual whisky carnival on the island attracts a large number of tourists. On the night of the festival, wine is prepared in the lobby of every winery, the band plays the Scottish flute and the girls dance. People drink whisky and dance all night.
