Whisky

Whisky (or Whiskey) is a distilled spirit made from grains (primarily barley, corn, rye, or wheat) that is aged in oak barrels. 

Alcohol content: usually 40-46% ABV. 

Production: malting (sometimes smoking with peat), fermentation, distillation (usually 2-3 times), and aging (min. 3 years for Scotch). 

Popular types: Single Malt Scotch: 100% malted barley, single distillery. 

Bourbon: American, min. 51% corn, new oak barrels. 

Irish Whiskey: often triple distilled, smoother. 

Rye: at least 51% rye, spicier. 

Whisky is drunk neat, on the rocks, or with a little water. 

The taste varies enormously depending on the grain, peat, barrel, and region (from sweet and vanilla to smoky and medicinal). 

In short: complex, aged grain drink with endless variations!
