Whisky (Whiskey) is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. The grains used can include barley, corn, rye, and wheat. The production process involves fermentation, distillation, and aging in wooden barrels, typically oak. Whisky’s flavor profile varies widely, influenced by factors like the type of grains, distillation methods, and aging conditions. Common types include Scotch whisky, Bourbon, Rye, and Irish whiskey. Appreciated for its complexity, whisky is often enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour.
