Whisky

==History==
Around 950 an Arab doctor called Rhazes described the production of alcohol in detail. In 1526 Paracelsus introduced the steam bath into laboratory technology. It was later used for distillation purposes. In 1771 the German chemist Weigel invented the countercurrent cooler for distillation. It was initially made from a metal sheet, but from 1773 on was made of glass. The new cooler replaced medieval Alembic distillation because it allowed quicker condensation. Since 1902, vacuum distillation as developed by the German chemical scientists Fischer and Harvies has been in use. In this procedure, water and other liquids are evaporated without being heated.
==Did You Know That?==
Around 1900, the German chemical scientists Emil Fischer and Carl Harvies developed the vaccuum-distillation process which consists of water and other liquids being evaporated without being heated. Nowadays, this process is used everywhere. Whisky is more fashionable than ever before. Especially in Northern regions, people enjoy a few daily glasses of the warming liquor because regular whisky consumption is said to be healthy for the body and soul. Women, too, more and more often tend to have a glass of whisky to clear their throats - either straight or 'on the rocks'.
