Whiskey

Whisky or whiskey is a distilled alcoholic drink made from fermented grain mash. Various grains are used for different variations, including barley, rye, corn, and wheat. Whisky is aged in wooden casks, which are oftentimes old sherry casks or may also be formed of charred white oak.

Whisky has been created in Scotland for hundreds of years. The first evidence of whisky production comes from Exchequer Rolls, a book from 1495 years.

Scotch is a whisky that gets its unique smoky flavor from the process in which it is made: the grain, primarily barley, is malted and then heated over a peat fire. Whisky cannot be called Scotch unless is completely produced and bottled in Scotland.
