WHAT IS WHISKEY?
When most people think of whiskey, they think of a brown liquid poured over ice and enjoyed neat or in a mixer. But what is whiskey? Whiskey is a type of alcoholic drink made from fermented grain mash. It can be made from various grains, including barley, corn, rye, and wheat. Distilled water is added to the mash, and the mixture is heated until it ferments. The fermentation process creates ethanol and carbon dioxide, giving the whiskey a smoky flavor. The distillation process removes the ethanol and leaves the water, oil, and other distillates behind. Today, whiskey is produced in many different countries around the world. It is enjoyed for its unique flavor profile, which can vary from one whiskey to the next.
