Whisky

Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage distilled from grain, aged in wooden barrels.

• Scotch whiskey - usually twice distilled from barley that has been dried over peat.
• Irish whiskey - distilled three times and stored for three years in oak barrels.
• American whiskey is usually distilled from corn.
• Bourbon is an American whiskey from a State of Kentucky containing at least 51% corn distillate (such as Jim Beam).
• Whiskey from other U.S. states is usually not identified as bourbon, although it is bourbon according to the standards. The most famous example is Jack Daniel's.
