Whisky Aging

Whisky aging is the process where the spirit matures in wooden barrels over time. During this period, the whisky interacts with the wood, which influences its flavor, color, and aroma. The aging process allows tannins, lignins, and other compounds from the wood to infuse into the whisky, developing complexity and smoothness. Factors like barrel type, climate, and duration all impact the final taste. Generally, longer aging can enhance depth and richness, but quality also depends on how the whisky interacts with the wood during those years.
