Often people only focus on the brand and taste when it comes to alcohol, but very few people know about the different origins of rum, whiskey and vodka. Which of these drinks is the most natural, least processed, and with the most chemical steps? This question still confuses people. Understanding the production process of these three can help you figure out which wine is more natural and which is less modified.
The base of rum is molasses or sugarcane juice, which is extracted from sugarcane. It is first fermented to break down the natural sugars and convert them into alcohol. It is then distilled and placed in barrels to mature. This is what gives rum its distinctive colour, smell and sweetness. Rum is matured for a long time and since it is made directly from sugar cane, it is considered relatively natural in terms of processing. It requires very little additional flavor.
Whiskey has its roots in grains like barley, corn, wheat or rye. These grains are first malted, then mixed with hot water and fermented. These are then distilled and aged for a long time in wooden barrels, developing their true taste, color and aroma.
The process of making whiskey is lengthy and involves many steps, so even though it is made from natural ingredients, it is considered more processed.
Vodka is considered the cleanest drink, but whether it is the most natural is debatable. Vodka can be made from potatoes, grains, beets and even molasses. It is distilled several times to achieve maximum purity. Many brands distill it seven to ten times and then pass it through a carbon filter.
Therefore, the original taste of vodka is almost completely lost, and it becomes completely neutral. Instead of calling it natural, it would be more correct to call it highly processed.
