Whiskey

What is Whiskey?

Whiskey or whisky is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. [1]

Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize (corn). [1]



History

Between 1100 and 1300, distillation spread in Ireland and Scotland, with monastic distilleries existing in Ireland in the 12th century. Since the islands had few grapes with which to make wine, barley beer was used instead, resulting in the development of whisky. [1]
