Whiskey

Whiskey is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash, which can include barley, corn, rye, and wheat. The production process involves mashing the grains, fermenting the mash with yeast, distilling the liquid, and aging it in wooden casks, usually made of oak. The aging process contributes to the flavor, aroma, and color of the whiskey. There are various types of whiskey, such as Scotch, Irish, bourbon, and rye, each differing in production methods, ingredients, and regional characteristics. Whiskey is often enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in cocktails.
