METHOD FOR WHISKY PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: wine production and alcohol beverage industry.

SUBSTANCE: whisky is obtained from malty distillate aged for at least 3 years with starting alcohol strength of 86 vol.% and dissolved before aging up to 70 vol.% and corny distillate with starting alcohol strength of 86 vol.% and dissolved before aging up to 62 vol.% in amount of 20-50 % and 50-80 %, respectively calculated as blending volume. Distillates are dissolved with soft water. Aged malty distillate is dissolved by addition therein oak-chips, charged at 300-350°C in amount of 0.8-1.2 g/l and gradual soft water addition in mixture for 7-10 days when maintaining mixture temperature changing at most ±2°C to provide distillate alcohol strength of 50-55 vol.%. Aged corny distillate is dissolved by addition in soft water oak-chips, charged at 250-270°C in amount of 1.0-1.5 g/l and gradual corny distillate addition in mixture for 7-10 days when maintaining mixture temperature changing at most ±2°C to provide distillate alcohol strength of 35-38 vol.%. Dissolved distillates are blended by at least three-step introducing corny distillate in malty distillate to produce whisky with alcohol content of 40-45 vol.%. Then whisky is conditioned for 7-10 days, cooled at -10-18°C for 0.5-1.5 days and filtered with subsequent bottling. Method of present invention makes it possible to reduce whisky production period from 3 to 1.0-1.5 months.

EFFECT: accelerated method for whisky production.
