grain whisky
Corn-based Scottish liquor
Grain whisky is whisky distilled from grains other than malted barley—typically corn, wheat, or unmalted barley—using continuous column stills rather than pot stills.
The result is lighter and milder than malt whisky.
Grain whisky forms the base of most blended Scotch whiskies, though single grain whiskies are also bottled on their own.
