Understanding the distinctions between whisky, rum, and vodka
The FSSAI recently challenged the classification of Old Monk as rum, sparking a fresh debate regarding how different spirits are categorized within India. Generally, whisky is produced using a fermented grain mash that is subsequently aged in oak barrels. In contrast, rum is derived from sugarcane-based ingredients like molasses and is frequently left to mature. Vodka serves as a neutral distilled spirit typically crafted from potatoes or grain, processed specifically to eliminate any distinct color, scent, or taste.
