INNOVATING FOR THE NEXT STAGE OF GROWTH
HERE'S HOW WE BRING TO LIFE THE VERY
BEST EXPERIENCES AT ABD
STEP 1
MALTING
Malting is the process in which Selected grains are steeped in water, allowed to germinate, and then dried in a kiln. During germination, natural enzymes develop that convert complex carbohydrates in the grain into fermentable sugars required for alcohol production. The resulting product is known as malt.
STEP 2
MASHING
During mashing, the malted grains are milled into a coarse powder known as grist and mixed with hot water. This process allows the enzymes in the malt to break down starch into fermentable sugars. The sugary liquid extracted from the mash is called wort.
STEP 3
FERMENTATION
Fermentation is the process in which yeast converts the fermentable sugars present in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide. During this process, yeast also produces congeners that contribute to the flavour and aroma of the spirit. The resulting alcoholic liquid generally contains around 8–9% alcohol by volume (ABV) and is referred to as wash.
STEP 4
DISTILLATION
Distillation is carried out in two stages using copper pot stills. Once fermentation is complete, the wash is heated in the first copper pot stills to vaporize the alcohol, The vapours are then condensed back into liquid form through a condenser, producing low wines. The low wines are distilled again in the second still, where the distillate is separated into three fractions: foreshots, heart, and tails. The heart cut, which contains the desired alcohol and flavour components, is collected as the new make spirit.
STEP 5
MATURATION
In the maturation stage, the new make spirit is filled into oak casks for aging. These casks may vary in size and origin but must be made of oak. During maturation, complex chemical interactions occur between the spirit and the wood, gradually developing the flavour, aroma, colour, and smoothness of whisky over time.
STEP 6
BLENDING
Blending is a critical step in whisky production where different matured spirits are carefully combined to achieve the desired flavour profile, aroma, and consistency. Under the guidance of the Master Blender, selected matured malts, grain spirits, and other whisky components are blended in precise proportions as per the established formulation. During this stage, high-quality demineralized water may be added to adjust the alcohol strength to the required level. The blend is then allowed to rest (Marrying time) for a specific period to ensure proper integration and enhancement of natural flavours and aroma to the final blend.
STEP 7
BOTTLING
After maturation, the whisky is carefully prepared for bottling. The process begins with the selection of high-quality bottles, which are thoroughly rinsed and cleaned to ensure they are suitable for filling. The matured whisky is then filled under controlled conditions, maintaining strict hygiene and quality standards. Each filled bottle undergoes multiple stages of inspection to ensure compliance with quality requirements. Finally, the bottles are securely sealed, labelled, and packed, ensuring that the product delivered to consumers maintains the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
