Whisky or whiskey refers to a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from fermented grain mash. Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize (corn). Most whiskies are aged in wooden casks (generally oak), the exception being some corn whiskeys.
With few exceptions, the spelling is Scotch, Canadian, and Japanese whisky (plural: whiskies), but Irish and American whiskey (whiskeys).
