sorry,i want to know about the difference between whiskey and vodka and their contents?

Answer 1

The Vodka Process

The secret to creating vodka is in the distillation. Almost anything that contains starches or sugars can be fermented in order to start the cycle to producing a high-proof spirit. This first stage, where yeasts and sugars interact in order to produce alcohol, can only go so far. If the living environment of the yeast gets much beyond 15% alcohol, the yeast will die. This is why the alcohol level of most wine will be between 12% and 15% alcohol. To increase the alcohol level, it is necessary to distill the product in order to concentrate the alcohol. This process will separate out the alcohol from the other liquids contained in the product. The more efficient the distillation, the more alcoholic the end product is. For the spirits like Brandy, Whiskey, Rum, and Tequila, they will distill it out to between perhaps 40% and 55% alcohol by volume. The further you distill it, the more impurities you remove, but by the same token the more you’ll loose any characteristic flavors. If you were to distill the product out to 100% alcohol, you would have obviously removed any trace of flavor, except for whatever you might consider the "flavor" of alcohol itself. This is the secret of vodka.

Creating a product that is 100% alcohol is very, very difficult, to the point of being technically and commercially impossible. As it turns out, alcohol exhibits a chemical attraction to water. If you were to create a 100% alcohol product, it would almost instantly start drawing in water molecules from the air around it. This equilibrium settles out at just a little bit below 96%, so technically the strongest alcohol you can make will only be 191.5 proof (or 95.75% Alcohol By Volume). At which point you would have what is commonly referred to as a "Neutral Grain Spirit" (aka NGS). It is from this point that all vodkas begin.

Answer 2

Vodka is distilled from potatoes, it's clear and the taste is on the sharp or bitter side. It lends well to other flavorings such as fruits, spices and herbs. Smirnoff has a corner on the market on this, they make every flavor Vodka under the sun. :-)

Whiskey is distilled from grain or corn and is aged in barrels of charred wood, usually oak, which lends to the flavor and color. The taste can be harsh for young whiskey or very smooth and mellow for well-aged whiskey.

Quick trivia: Every bourbon is a whiskey, but not every whiskey is a bourbon. Bourbon the name for a specific whiskey named after Bourbon County, Kentucky and most if not all Bourbons found on the market today are produced entirely within the state of Kentucky.

Answer 3

It has more to do with the sugar source used in their fermentation. Vodka is made from potatoes and whiskey from grains. Once the mash has fermented as far it can economically, it is filtered and distilled. The distillate is blended with water and other flavorings until the alcohol content reaches the level at which it is sold.
BTW: The distillation of alcohol/water can only proceed to 95 percent alcohol since an "azeotrope" is formed that has a lower boiling point than does alcohol. It acts as a "pseudo" compound. While purer alcohol can be made, an additive is used to destroy the azeotrope and produce a mix with a higher point than alcohol. Than, the lower boiling alcohol can be distilled.

Answer 4

Vodka is a popular distilled beverage. It is a clear liquid containing water, ethanol purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as potatoes, grain (rye or wheat) or sugar beet molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances: impurities and possibly flavorings. Except for various types of flavorings, vodka is a colourless liquid. Most are between 35% and 50% alcohol by volume

Whiskey refers to a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in wooden casks (generally oak).

Different grains are used for different varieties, including: barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize (corn). Whisky derives from the Gaelic word for "water" (uisce or uisge), and is called in full uisge-beatha (in Scotland) or uisce beatha (Ireland), meaning "Water of Life". It is related to the Latin aqua vitae, also meaning "water of life". It is always Scotch whisky, and Irish whiskey.

Answer 5

Many people recommend whiskey and wine, but I wrote a scientific book about that and I recommend drinking VODKA (is healthier than whiskey) and beer

Answer 6

Rum is made by utilising distilling fermented molasase or sugar cane juice. Whisky is made by utilising distilling fermented grains or beer as this is named, generally slightly, corn or rye. this is often elderly in o.ok.barrels to alter the colour and flavour. Vodka is alcohol distiled so as that it has pretty much no flavour. it rather is produced from something yet is generally produced from grain or potatoes. Gin is in fact vodka flavoured with juniper berries and different spices.

Answer 7

Whiskey is made from grain, i.e., corn, rye, etc. Vodka is made from potatoes.

Answer 8

Vodika= clear, best kind made in Russia
Whiskey= rich brown color, Indians love it!
