1. Malted Barley: Malted barley is a crucial ingredient in the production of whisky. It is barley that has been malted, which means that it has been soaked in water, germinated, and then dried. The malting process transforms the raw barley grains into 'malt', which contains the enzymes needed to convert the starchy raw materials into fermentable sugars.

2. Fermentation: Fermentation is a crucial process in the production of whisky. It is the process by which the natural sugars present in the mash (the mixture of water and malted barley) are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide (CO2) by the action of yeast. The yeast consumes the sugars present in the mash and converts them into alcohol and CO2 through the process of fermentation. The alcohol produced during fermentation is what gives whisky its distinctive flavor.
