Whisky

This post presents Visual Summary and Keyword Cloud about whisky based on a Wikipedia article.


File:Scotch whiskies.jpg Whisky (British English) or whiskey (Irish English and American English) is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash.
 The typical unifying characteristics of the different classes and types are the fermentation of grains, distillation, and aging in wood.
 The word whisky (or whiskey) is an anglicisation of the Gaelic word uisce|usige meaning water.
 In Scotland, the first evidence of whisky production comes from an entry in the Exchequer Rolls for 1494 where malt is sent "To Friar John Cor, by order of the king, to make aquavitae", enough to make about 500 bottles.
 With a licence to distil Irish whiskey from 1608, the Old Bushmills Distillery in the north coast of Ireland is often regarded as being the oldest licenced whiskey distillery in the world.
 Malts and grains are combined in various ways: Single malt whisky is whisky from a single distillery made from a mash that uses only one particular malted grain.
 Blended whiskies are typically made from a mixture of malt and grain whiskies — often along with neutral spirits, caramel, and flavouring.
 Canadian whiskies may contain caramel and flavouring in addition to the distilled mash spirits, and there is no maximum limit on the alcohol level of the distillation, so the bulk of the distilled content may be neutral spirits rather than straight whiskies.
