Distillery

/dɪˈstɪləri/ noun

Definition

A factory or facility where alcoholic drinks like whiskey, vodka, or gin are produced through distillation.

Etymology

From Medieval Latin 'distillare,' meaning to drip down or separate through heat. The '-ery' suffix indicates a place where this process occurs.

Kelly Says

Distilleries are chemistry labs disguised as alcohol producers—they use evaporation and condensation to separate pure spirits from water, which is the same chemistry used in industrial and laboratory purification!
