Whiskey
Whiskey (or whisky) is a distilled liquid made from fermented grain mash.
Whiskey Classification
Classification depends on the amount of toasting or charring done to the wood, and the type of wood used. Bourbon whiskey is aged in charred new oak barrels. Scotch whiskey has a slower maturation time and typically uses barrels that have already been used for bourbon production.
