We all share the objective of getting mature spirit profitably bottled and shipped to the consumer. In ways which are not fully understood the chemistry of the distillate changes subtly as it reacts with the second-hand wood, and with the cold, damp, Scottish air which slowly crosses the membrane. There the many different organic chemicals interact both with the distilled spirit, and with each other, during this maturation process. The barrels, which will previously have stored bourbon, sherry or possibly port, offer a richly complex semi-permeable membrane through which gases can pass. Water is then added back, and the mixture is stored for maturation in naturally permeable, second-hand, oak barrels. The fermentation result - basically beer - is distilled to produce a clear-coloured, sharp distillate which is not suitable for drinking and which contains several hundred complex organic compounds. The germination is halted by heating, and yeast is added to ferment the sugary mixture. Scotch whisky is made from cereals which are allowed to begin germination, a process which releases enzymes that turn grain starch into sugar. * Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
