The academy experience is highly interactive, and we were soon given the opportunity to engage directly with the process. We examined the raw ingredients—barley, water, and yeast—and saw how they transform through each stage of production. The academy’s small-scale distillery allowed us to witness the distillation process firsthand, from mashing and fermentation to distillation and maturation.
One of the most fascinating segments was the maturation room, where we saw an array of oak casks aging the precious liquid. The guide explained the critical role of wood in developing the whiskey's flavour profile, and we even had the chance to nose and taste samples at various stages of maturation. This sensory experience underscored the intricate balance of science and art in whiskey making.
