About Alcoholic beverage, distilled, whiskey, 86 proof
Whisky, spelled whiskey in Ireland and the United States, is a distilled spirit built from a fermented mash of grains such as barley, corn, rye, and wheat, then matured in wooden casks that give it both color and depth. Time in charred oak coaxes out warm notes of vanilla, caramel, spice, and smoke, while the choice of grain and the region of origin define styles from Scotch and bourbon to Irish whiskey and rye.
As a distilled spirit it contains alcohol and calories, roughly 250 per 100 milliliters, but essentially no carbohydrates or sugar. It is enjoyed neat, over ice, or with a splash of water that opens up its aroma, and it forms the backbone of classics like the old fashioned, Manhattan, and whiskey sour. Store bottles upright in a cool, dark place away from sunlight; unlike wine, whisky stops aging the moment it is bottled and keeps for years unopened.
Please enjoy it responsibly and in moderation.
