A grains journey to whiskey.
The journey starts with grains. If it is a grain, it can grow up to be whiskey, but only grains are allowed to be part of our beloved water of life. The grains are grown, harvested, cleaned, malted (sometimes), turned to grist, to the mash, to the wort, then "beer" or "wash," to new-make, and finally aged whiskey. There are many additional steps within each process, each being as important as the previous—everything from start to finish aides in creating the flavor in your favorite whiskey.
