Vodka and whiskey?
If both spirits are fermented and distilled from the same grain, the only difference is that whisky is stored in wood and vodka, if at all, in steel tanks?

Good morning, My group of friends is having a barbecue on Friday, and I've been tasked with getting mixed drinks for the people drinking. I want to get one over on them and get the most disgusting drinks that can be mixed with alcohol, but can still be enjoyed without alcohol. Examples: hot chocolate, tea-flavored…
The feeling of increasingly losing control of your senses while drinking.
Hey, there's a big party coming up soon! In addition to the usual soft drinks (Coke, Fanta, Sprite), there will also be beer, vodka, schnapps, and liqueurs. It's an 18th birthday party, and it's going to be a night of drinking and drinking where everyone will be having a good time. How much of each…
Yesterday I completely drank myself to sleep with a vodka fanta cola mix and I have no headache and no hangover
Very cool description
Is the question whether the same grain is actually used. Barley is not barley and wheat is not the same as wheat. The origin plays a role here, as the soils have different concentrations of minerals, etc. Then there are different types of wheat, barley, etc.
For vodka traditional rye is used, which has a small proportion of whisky. Scottish and Irish Wisky are mainly made from barley, while in the USA corn is used. This is also subject to various laws in different countries.
The whisky ripening is a science for itself and is also covered with laws, for example American whisky may be stored exclusively in fresh American white oak, while the gravel may also use already used barrels. The storage period is also fixed and must not fall below a minimum duration. Even filling can only take place in Scotland with Scottish whisky, otherwise it is not a single malt scotch. The maturation plays practically no role in Wodka.
For this, vodka is always filtered to remove fusel substances. This increases the degree of purity of the distillate.
That’s why it’s quite difficult to get a hangover at Wodka.
If you do a Rye whisky, is that vodka stored in barrels?
No, you must not forget the differences between the two spirits. Basically, only the process from the ro substances to the burning of the distillate is most similar. While the vodka is then filtered, sometimes several times, the whisky is filled into oak barrels and filled only after years or even decades. That is, the vodka in the shelves is perhaps not even half a year old, while the standard Glenfiddich is a mix of malts, from which the youngest 12 years matured in barrels.
Some whiskys are also dropped several times, bsp first in a used Bourbon fiber and then again a few years in a used sherry fiber. This again results in a special taste profile.
And what did I write? The process is very similar here. The number of distillations can still be different, also the structure of the combustion bubbles, etc.
But I remain with my no question the rhythm is a vodka stored in barrels. For the whiskey, that would be an insult if you were to compare it like that.
Nothing else I said, so is the process the same until after distilling in the whole?
Wodka is baked in odour-neutral vessels (so without aromas). Whiskey is added to aromas in which it has been drawn for years in barrels in which sherry was previously stored.
Vodka is made from potatoes, and Whisk(e)y from grain
as far as I know is used for vodka
That’s a myth that’s amazingly stubborn. I thought this too at first, but I read that the traditional vodka is made from rye, but also find other types of cereals, even potatoes or grapes.
