whisky
Distilled malt beverage
Whisky is a distilled spirit made from fermented grain mash—typically barley, corn, rye, or wheat—and aged in wooden barrels.
The spelling whisky is standard in Scotland, Canada, and Japan; whiskey (with an e) is preferred in Ireland and the United States.
Scotch whisky comes specifically from Scotland.
