Here Comes the World's First AI-Generated Whisky

Good whisky takes a while to make. It doesn't seem that complicated on the surface (grain, water, yeast, voilà) until you consider just how many different types of grains can affect the whisky's taste. It's why master blenders take months, if not years, messing with the ingredients in their mashbills--and that's all before they begin to age the distillate. Legally, whisky must sit in oak casks for at least three years. It's during that maturation process where the magic really happens, as the right kind of wood can completely transform the whisky's flavors, smell, and color.
