How did man actually manage to discover alcohol in the early days? Think about it. It might have been that someone decided to store some grains in open containers and during a storm, these containers filled with water and the grains began to sprout. Instead of throwing them away, someone might have decided to taste them instead.
Barley, wheat, rice - it doesn't matter what might have been in those containers, the only thing that matters is that it tasted good.
Building on that initial discovery, many people embarked on a quest to find more efficient and varied processes through which they could obtain this kind of beverage, which is why we have such a large selection of alcoholic beverages available today.
The aim of this booklet is to help you better understand the properties of one such beverage - whiskey - and to guide you on your very own quest of producing this amazing beverage by presenting you with a variety of options and approaches from which you can choose whichever best fits your expectations.
