Whisky making is an art and a science. At Nikka's Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido, they char a barrel for flavor. The result is some excellent tasting whisky. The other result: some weirdly cool and mesmerizing portal like art.

This is what we're talking about.

See how those flames look like as if there's another dimension in the barrel?

It looks like a portal to somewhere, but we don't know where!

Very beautiful!

Nikka has 3,000 styles of whisky for internal blending. Check out the video below:
