   - **Production Method:** Grains are mashed, fermented, distilled, and then aged in wooden casks. The type of grain and aging process contribute to the specific characteristics of the whiskey.

 

3. **Gin:**

   - **Raw Material:** Gin is unique as its primary raw material is neutral spirit (usually distilled from grains or molasses).

   - **Production Method:** Juniper berries and other botanicals (like coriander, citrus peels, etc.) are added to the neutral spirit during the distillation process. The flavors are extracted, resulting in the distinctive taste of gin.

 

4. **Brandy:**

   - **Raw Material:** Brandy can be made from various fruits, with grapes being a common choice (resulting in grape brandy or Cognac).
