The best whisky in the world came from Taiwan. It came from a distillery called Kavalan, owned by King Car, a big beverage company. The name of the winning whisky is Solist Vinho Barrique. That means it is aged in a barrel originally used for wine. If you want to buy this whisky, be prepared to spend more than $100. Distilling is the process of producing and extracting alcohol by combining roasted barley (known as malt) or another grain, with water and yeast. The reaction of the yeast with the other ingredients is called fermentation. That is how alcohol is produced. The mixture is then heated, and the alcohol, which evaporates before water, is captured and cooled, producing whisky. The whisky is stored for many years in barrels before it is bottled and sold. The barrels are usually crafted from oak, and their insides are toasted, or burned slightly by fire. This adds flavor and character to the whisky.
