Whisky

Whisky (or whiskey) is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, corn, rye, and wheat. It is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak. This aging process imparts flavor and color. Whisky's character varies greatly based on factors like the grain, distillation process, aging time, and the environment where it matures. Distillation regions impact regional flavors, and a master blender uses the art of mixing whisky to combine many different barrels, allowing for flavor consistency, complexity, and balance.
