The difference between the two is as simple as it sounds;\u00a0<strong>the wort liquid can either be cloudy or clear<\/strong>. One isn\u2019t necessarily better, per se, but cloudy wort results in higher levels of lipids during fermentation, which adds high thresholds of nutty\/cereal notes to the whisky. While there are most certainly a number of Scottish distilleries that acquire clear wort, I would say that the malty character of Scotch whisky obtained from cloudy wort is prized there. The Japanese, who only produce clear wort, offer a different take, bearing in mind cloudy wort is not the only source of nutty\/cereal notes. To achieve clarity, wort can be recycled through the grain bed of the mash for further filtration or cycled through a secondary vessel known as a lauter tun. The lauter tun has a larger surface that encourages clarification of wort.\u00a0<strong>The use of clear wort can change many factors in terms of fermentation, a process the Japanese value more highly than any other whisky producers in the world.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This paragraph<a href=\"http:\/\/tastingnotesnyc.com\/2013\/01\/31\/demystifying-japanese-whisky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>\u00a0comes from that website which\u00a0<\/u><\/a>I think is explaining and illustrating the idea in a very clear manner.
