Whisky or whiskey[1] is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage

made from fermented grain mash. Various grains (which may be

malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn
(maize), rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden
casks, generally made of charred white oak.

Whisky is a strictly regulated spirit worldwide with many

classes and types. The typical unifying characteristics of the
different classes and types are the fermentation of grains,
distillation, and aging in wooden barrels.
Whisky or whisky-like products are produced in most grain-growing areas. They differ in base
product, alcoholic content, and quality.

Malt whisky is made primarily from malted barley.

Grain whisky is made from any type of grains.

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. Unless the whisky is described as single-cask, it contains whisky from
many casks, and different years, so the blender can achieve a taste recognisable as typical of
the distillery. In most cases, single malts bear the name of the distillery, with an age statement
and perhaps some indication of some special treatments such as maturation in a port wine cask.

Blended malt whisky is a mixture of single malt whiskies from different distilleries. If a whisky
is labelled "pure malt" or just "malt" it is almost certainly a blended malt whisky. This was
formerly called a "vatted malt" whisky.

Blended whisky is made from a mixture of different types of whisky. A blend may contain
whisky from many distilleries so that the blender can produce a flavour consistent with the
brand. The brand name may, therefore, omit the name of a distillery. Most Scotch, Irish and
Canadian whisky is sold as part of a blend, even when the spirits are the product of one
distillery, as is common in Canada.[30] American blended whisky may contain neutral spirits.

Cask strength (also known as barrel proof) whiskies are rare, and usually only the very best
whiskies are bottled in this way. They are bottled from the cask undiluted or only lightly diluted.

Single cask (also known as single barrel) whiskies are bottled from an individual cask, and
often the bottles are labelled with specific barrel and bottle numbers. The taste of these whiskies
may vary substantially from cask to cask within a brand.

Australian[edit]

Main article: Australian whisky

Australian whiskies have won global whisky awards and medals, including the World
Whiskies Awards and Jim Murray's Whisky Bible "Liquid Gold Awards".[38]

Canadian[edit]

Various Canadian whiskies

Main article: Canadian whisky

By Canadian law Canadian whiskies must be produced and aged in Canada, be distilled
from a fermented mash of cereal grain, be aged in wood barrels with a capacity limit of 700
litres (185 US gal; 154 imp gal) for not less than three years, and "possess the aroma, taste
and character generally attributed to Canadian whisky".[39] The terms "Canadian Whisky",
"Rye Whisky", and "Canadian Rye Whisky" are legally indistinguishable in Canada and do
not require any specific grain in their production. 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.[39] To be exported under one of the
"Canadian Whisky" designations, a whisky cannot contain more than 9.09% imported spirits.
[40]

Canadian whiskies are available throughout the world and are a culturally significant export.
Well known brands include Crown Royal,Canadian Club, Seagram's, and Wiser's among
others. The historic popularity of Canadian whisky in the United States is partly a result
ofrum runners illegally importing it into the country during the period of American Prohibition.

Danish[edit]

Denmark began producing whisky early in 1974. The first Danish single malt to go on sale
was Lille Gadegrd from Bornholm, in 2005.[41] Lille Gadegrd is a winery as well, and uses
its own wine casks to mature whisky.

The second Danish distilled single malt whisky for sale was Edition No.1 from the Braunstein
microbrewery and distillery. It was distilled in 2007, using water from the Greenlandic ice
sheet, and entered the market in March 2010.[42]

English[edit]

Main article: English whisky

There are currently at least six distilleries producing English whisky. Though England is not
very well known for making whisky there were distillers previously operating in London,
Liverpool and Bristol until the late 19th century, after which production of English single
malt whisky ceased until 2003.[43]

Finnish[edit]

Main article: Finnish whisky

There are two working distilleries in Finland and a third one is under construction. Whisky
retail sales in Finland are controlled solely by the state alcohol monopoly Alko and
advertisement of strong alcoholic beverages is banned.[44]

German[edit]

Main article: German whisky

German whisky production is a relatively recent phenomenon having only started in the last
30 years. The styles produced resemble those made in Ireland, Scotland and the United
States: single malts, blends, wheat, and bourbon-like styles. There is no standard spelling of
German whiskies with distilleries using both "whisky" and "whiskey". In 2008 there were 23
distilleries in Germany producing whisky.[45]

Indian[edit]

Main article: Indian whisky

India consumes almost as much whisky as the rest of the world put together.[46] Distilled
alcoholic beverages that are labelled as "whisky" in India are commonly blends based
onneutral spirits that are distilled from fermented molasses with only a small portion
consisting of traditional malt whisky, usually about 10 to 12 percent. Outside India, such a
drink would more likely be labelled a rum.[47][48] According to the Scotch Whisky Association's
2013 annual report, "there is no compulsory definition of whisky in India, and the Indian
voluntary standard does not require whisky to be distilled from cereals or to be matured." [49][50]
[51]

Ninety percent of the whisky consumed in India is molasses-based,[52] although whisky

wholly distilled from malt and other grains, is also manufactured and sold. [53] Amrut, the first
single malt whisky produced in India, was launched on 24 August 2004. [54]

Irish[edit]

Various Irish whiskeys

Main article: Irish whiskey

Irish whiskeys are normally distilled thrice, Cooley Distillery being the exception as they also
double distill.[55] Though traditionally distilled using pot stills, the column still is now used to
produce grain whiskey for blends. By law, Irish whiskey must be produced in Ireland and
aged in wooden casks for a period of no less than three years, although in practice it is
usually three or four times that period.[56]Unpeated malt is almost always used, the main
exception being Connemara Peated Malt whiskey.

There are several types of whiskey common to Ireland: single malt, single grain, blended
whiskey and pure pot still whiskey.

Japanese[edit]

Main article: Japanese whisky

The model for Japanese whiskies is the single malt Scotch, although there are also
examples of Japanese blended whiskies. The base is a mash of malted barley, dried in kilns
fired with a little peat (although considerably less than in Scotland), and distilled using the
pot still method. Before 2000, Japanese whisky was primarily for the domestic market and
exports were limited. Japanese whiskies such as Suntory and Nikka won many prestigious
international awards between 2007 and 2014. Japanese whisky has earned a reputation for
quality.[57][58]

Scotch[edit]

Various Scotch whiskies

Main article: Scotch whisky

Scotch whiskies are generally distilled twice, although some are distilled a third time and
others even up to twenty times.[59] Scotch Whisky Regulations require anything bearing the
label "Scotch" to be distilled in Scotland and matured for a minimum of three years in oak
casks, among other, more specific criteria.[60] Any age statement on the bottle, in the form of a
number, must reflect the age of the youngest Scotch whisky used to produce that product. A
whisky with an age statement is known as guaranteed age whisky.[61] Scotch whisky without
an age statement may, by law, be as young as three years old.[62]

The basic types of Scotch are malt and grain, which are combined to create blends. The
distinctive smoky flavour that can often be found in Scotch is due to the use of peat smoke to
treat the malt. Scotch malt whiskies are divided into five main
regions: Highland, Lowland,Islay, Speyside and Campbeltown.[63]

Swedish[edit]

Whisky started being produced in Sweden in 1955 by the now defunct Skeppets
whisky brand. Their last bottle was sold in 1971.[64] In 1999 Mackmyra Whisky was founded
and is today the largest producer and has won several awards including European Whisky of
the Year in Jim Murray's 2011 Whisky Bible[65] and the International Wine & Spirits
Competition (IWSC) 2012 Award for Best European Spirits Producer of 2012. [66]

Welsh[edit]

Main article: Welsh whisky

Although distillation of whisky in Wales began in Middle Ages there were no commercially
operated distilleries during the 20th century. The rise of the temperance movement saw the
decline the commercial production of liquor during the 19th century and in 1894 Welsh
whisky production ceased. Recently, however, there has been a revival of Welsh whisky.

The revival of Welsh whisky began in the 1990s. Initially a "Prince of Wales" malt whisky was
sold as Welsh whisky but was simply blended scotch bottled in Wales. A lawsuit by Scotch
distillers ended this enterprise.[67] In 2000, Penderyn Distillery started production of Penderyn
single malt whisky. The first bottles went on sale on 1 March 2004, Saint David's Day, and it
is now sold worldwide. Penderyn Distillery is located in the Brecon Beacons National
Park and is considered to be the smallest distillery in the world. [68]

Other[edit]

ManX Spirit from the Isle of Man is distilled elsewhere and re-distilled in the country of its
nominal "origin". The ManX distillery takes a previously matured Scotch malt whisky and redistills it.[69]

In 2010 a Czech whisky was released, the 21-year-old "Hammer Head". [70]

In 2008 at least two distilleries in the traditionally brandy-producing Caucasus region

announced their plans to enter the Russian domestic market with whiskies. The Stavropol-

based Praskoveysky distillery bases its product on Irish whiskey, while in Kizlyar, Dagestan's
"Russian Whisky" announced a Scotch-inspired drink in single malt, blended and wheat
varieties.[71]

Destileras y Crianza del Whisky S.A. is a whisky distillery in Spain. Its eight-year-old Whisky
DYC is a combination of malts and spirits distilled from barley aged separately a minimum of
eight years in American oak barrels.[72]

Frysk Hynder is a Dutch single malt, distilled and bottled in the Frisian Us Heit Distillery. It is
the first single malt produced in the Netherlands.[45]

Chemistry[edit]
Overview[edit]

Whiskies and other distilled beverages, such as cognac, and rum are complex beverages
that contain a vast range of flavouring compounds, of which some 200 to 300 are easily
detected by chemical analysis. The flavouring chemicals include "carbonyl compounds,
alcohols, carboxylic acids and their esters, nitrogen- and sulphur-containing
compounds,tannins and other polyphenolic compounds, terpenes, and oxygencontaining heterocyclic compounds" and esters of fatty acids.[73] The nitrogen compounds
include pyridines,picolines and pyrazines.[74]

Flavours from distillation[edit]

The flavouring of whisky is partially determined by the presence of congeners and fusel oils.
Fusel oils are higher alcohols than ethanol, are mildly toxic, and have a strong, disagreeable
smell and taste. An excess of fusel oils in whisky is considered a defect. A variety of methods
are employed in the distillation process to remove unwanted fusel oils. Traditionally,
American distillers focused on secondary filtration using charcoal, gravel, sand, or linen to
remove undesired distillates.

Acetals are rapidly formed in distillates and a great many are found in distilled beverages,
the most prominent being acetaldehyde diethyl acetal (1,1-diethoxyethane). Among whiskies
the highest levels are associated with malt whisky.[75] This acetal is a principal flavour
compound in sherry, and contributes fruitiness to the aroma.[76]

The diketone diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) has a buttery aroma and is present in almost all
distilled beverages. Whiskies and cognacs typically contain more of this than vodkas, but
significantly less than rums or brandies.[77]

Flavours from oak[edit]

Whisky that has been aged in oak barrels absorbs substances from the wood. One of these
is cis-3-methyl-4-octanolide, known as the "whisky lactone" or "quercus lactone", a
compound with a strong coconut aroma.[78][79]

Commercially charred oaks are rich in phenolic compounds. One study identified 40 different
phenolic compounds. The coumarin scopoletin is present in whisky, with the highest level
reported in Bourbon whiskey.[80]

Flavours and colouring from additives [edit]

Depending on the local regulations, additional flavourings and colouring compounds may be
added to the whisky. Canadian whisky may contain caramel and flavouring in addition to the
distilled mash spirits. Scotch whisky may contain added (E150A) caramel colouring, but no
other additives. The addition of flavourings is not allowed in American"straight" whiskey, but
is allowed in American blends.

Chill filtration[edit]

Whisky is often "chill filtered": chilled to precipitate out fatty acid esters and then filtered to
remove them. Most whiskies are bottled this way, unless specified as unchillfiltered ornon
chill filtered. This is done primarily for cosmetic reasons. Unchillfiltered whiskeys often turn
cloudy when stored at cool temperatures or when cool water is added to them, and this is
perfectly normal.[81]

American whiskey[edit]
Main article: American whiskey
Thirteen large distilleries produce over 99% of whiskey made in the US. These are the following
distilleries: Barton, Booker Noe, Brown-Forman, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, George Dickel, Heaven
Hill, Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, MGP Indiana, Wild Turkey, and Woodford Reserve. [citation
