distillery
A distillery is a facility where alcoholic beverages, such as whiskey, vodka, or rum, are produced through a process called distillation. During this process, fermented liquid (like a mash or wash) is heated to separate alcohol from water and other components. The alcohol vapor is collected and condensed back into liquid form, resulting in a concentrated spirit. Distilleries often have specialized equipment and quality controls to develop distinct flavors and ensure safety. Essentially, a distillery transforms raw ingredients like grains, fruits, or sugar into refined alcoholic products through careful processing and craftsmanship.
