Vodka has a long, rich history and a complex production process. Its journey begins with the careful selection of grains, usually wheat, rye, barley, or corn. These grains are chosen for their high starch content, which will be converted into alcohol during fermentation.

The first step in production is milling, where the grains are ground into a flour-like consistency. The milled grains are then mixed with water and heated to create a mash. Enzymes, like amylase, are added to promote the conversion of starches into fermentable sugars.

Next, the mash is transferred to large fermentation tanks, where yeast is added. Yeast converts the sugars into alcohol through a process of fermentation. This takes several days during which time the mixture undergoes a significant transformation, with the alcohol content increasing.

Once fermentation is complete, the resulting liquid is distilled. Distillation involves heating which vaporizes the alcohol, which is then condensed back into a liquid form. Vodka typically undergoes multiple distillations to achieve a high level of purity and smoothness, contributing to the unique character of the vodka. After distillation, the vodka is often filtered through activated charcoal or other materials to achieve the desired level of smoothness and purity.

Finally, the vodka is diluted with water to achieve the correct alcohol content, usually around 40% ABV (alcohol by volume). Some distilleries may choose to add specific minerals or adjust the water source to impart distinct characteristics to the vodka.

Once the production process is complete, the vodka is typically Justify to rest for a short period to allow the flavors to harmonize before being bottled and distributed.
