Whisky

Whisky (Scottish, Welsh and English spelling) or Whiskey (American and Irish spelling) is a distilled alcoholic beverage.

 

Usually nudging around the 40% proof mark, whisky/whiskey is made from fermented grain mash, with various grains (some being malted) used for different varieties, including corn, rye, barley and wheat. Whisky/Whiskey is typically aged in charred white oak wooden casks and can be date traced back to 1494 via tax records.

Although most whisky is around the 40% mark there as been a vast increase recently for people wanting cask strength whisky which can be as high as 60.5%.
