Traditional Rum Making
From Cane to Cask: Our 6-Step Craft
Sugar Source
Fresh sugarcane juice or molasses is selected as the base for fermentation, impacting the final flavor.
- Molasses-rich or agricole base
- Prepared for fermentation
Fermentation
Yeast is added to convert sugar into alcohol. Time and temperature affect aroma and depth.
- 2–5 day range
- Controlled cooling
Distillation
Pot or column stills are used to concentrate alcohol and capture unique rum character.
- Batch or continuous stills
- Flavor control via cut points
Aging
Rum is stored in oak barrels, developing deeper flavor, darker color, and smooth finish.
- Minimum 1 year (aged rum)
- Tropical climate influence
Blending
Various aged rums are blended by a master blender to achieve a consistent or signature profile.
- Color and aroma balance
- House-style or premium blends
Bottling
Final rum is filtered (optional), bottled, sealed, and labeled for domestic and international markets.
- Quality control assurance
- Ready for export

Did You Know?
Rum matures faster in tropical climates, gaining flavor from oak barrels more rapidly than spirits aged in cooler regions.
Mastering Whiskey Craft
From Grain to Barrel: The 6-Step Journey
Malting
Barley is soaked, germinated, and dried in kilns to convert starches to sugars.
- Peat smoke optional
- Enzyme-rich malt
Mashing
Malted grain is ground and mixed with hot water to extract fermentable sugars.
- Three-stage sparging
- Sugar-rich wort collected
Fermentation
Yeast converts sugars into alcohol over 2–4 days, forming a beer-like "wash."
- Controlled timing
- 17–22°C optimal
Distillation
The wash is distilled (typically twice) in copper pot stills to concentrate and purify the spirit.
- Pot or column stills
- Heart cut precision
Aging
Distillate is aged in charred oak barrels for years, developing complexity and color.
- 3–12+ years typical
- American or European oak
Bottling
The matured whiskey is diluted (if needed), filtered, and bottled under quality standards.
- Typically 40–46?V
- Market-ready packaging

Did You Know?
Whiskey must be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 3 years to be called "whiskey" in many countries like Scotland and Ireland.
Traditional Country Liquor Making
Rooted in Heritage: The 6-Step Local Craft
Raw Material Gathering
Mahua flowers, jaggery, rice, or grains are handpicked and sun-dried to create the fermentation base.
- Local flora and crops
- Manual harvesting methods
Crushing & Mixing
Raw ingredients are crushed or soaked, often combined with water and natural enzymes or yeast.
- Clay or wooden vats
- Mixed with water and sealed
Natural Fermentation
The mash ferments over several days in clay pots or drums, powered by ambient wild yeast.
- Fermentation: 3–7 days
- No artificial heating
Distillation
The fermented wash is distilled in rudimentary or copper pot stills using open fire or steam.
- Wood-fired heating
- Basic distillation setup
Maturation (Optional)
Some regions mature the distilled spirit in earthen pots or reused wooden barrels for weeks to months.
- Local storage methods
- Mellowed aroma and taste
Bottling & Sale
Liquor is filtered (if at all), bottled manually, and sold within the village or at nearby local markets.
- Community-run enterprises
- Rural and tribal demand
