Whisky

Whisky, also spelled whiskey, is a type of liquor made from fermented grain mash. Its varieties use grains such as barley, corn, rye, and wheat, which may be malted. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, commonly charred white oak; casks previously used for port, rum, or sherry can impart distinctive flavour and colour. Its shared characteristics include grain fermentation, distillation, and cask aging.
