Reactions | How is Whiskey Made? A Deeper Dive Into Distilling. @ACSReactions | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Have you ever wanted to make your own bourbon? Don’t! The process might be relatively simple- heat a fermented liquid and keep only the boiled alcohol – but it is dangerous and illegal without a license. This video discusses how to separate one type of liquid from a slurry of others through boiling points and the intermolecular forces that influence them.
