Distilling industry

The distilling industry involves the production of alcoholic beverages through the process of fermentation and distillation. Fermentation converts sugars into alcohol using yeast, while distillation separates alcohol from water and other components by heating the mixture, allowing the alcohol to vaporize and then condense into liquid form. This process creates spirits like whiskey, vodka, rum, and gin. Distillers often age their products in barrels to develop flavors. The industry encompasses a range of activities, from sourcing ingredients to marketing the final products, and plays a significant role in many cultures and economies around the world.
