The Whisky Speaker Interested in whisky, enjoy drinking whisky, but have always wanted to learn more about the process itself? Have that special someone who's looking for a unique and immersive experience?
Whittaker's Distillery is now offering a half day hands on whisky making experience and at the time of this video's release is the only one in England to do so!
Work side by side with our distillers, and learn what it takes to turn three basic ingredients, water, barley and yeast, into what will eventually become a fantastic single malt whisky. The experience primarily involves the first phase of making whisky, completing what many in the industry believe is the most important part of the whisky making experience, the mash.
As part of the experience, you'll be involved in all aspects of this important first phase of whisky making:
Adding the malted and milled grain into the mash tun.
Control all aspects of the "mashing in", to include temperature, rake speed, settling the bed, etc along with the impacts that each has on the final product
Pumping out and cooling the wort and filling the fermentation tank
Activating and pitching the yeast into the wort
Taking the requisite readings to validate the yield and learning what these all mean and why they are important to the distiller
Cleaning out the spent grain from the mash tun and preparing for the following mash
*In some cases, you may get the chance to fill a barrel with new make spirit.
The company’s first first whisky is currently project for release on 1/8/24 and in this review I was lucky enough to try what will be one of the company’s first ever ex bourbon matured whisky releases!
