Whiskey, rum and vodka, like moonshine, are all made from distillation. The distinct flavors and effects that arise from each variant of alcohol come from the original recipes they are distilled from, the specific process of distillation and other processes or additives used after distillation. With a still, craft distillers can try their own homemade whiskey, rum and vodka recipes.
Whiskey is distilled from fermented grains, which may include barley, corn, wheat and other grains. Depending on how it is distilled, it may be as anywhere between 40% to 80% or even 90% abv. The grain recipe determines the type of whiskey made (malt whiskey, bourbon, rye whiskey etc.) and the distillation determines potency. Rum is distilled from molasses, and can also vary between 40% to 80% abv. How rum is aged or addition flavors such as honey determine if rum will be light or dark. Vodka is more versatile, and can be made from materials ranging from potatoes to corn, wheat, rice, sugar beets and more. The original recipe used, flavorings added after distilling, and filtering used during distilling all alter the taste, consistency and potency of vodka types.
