The term “whisky” is used to describe a type of alcohol distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in oak casks. “Whiskey” is used to describe Irish whiskey, which must be distilled while “whisky” is used to describe Scotch whisky, which is distilled twice and aged for at least 3 years before being bottled. It is believed that the history of whisky dates back to the 8th century, but the legend of St. Patrick's introduction of the distillation process to Britain puts its origins a few hundred years earlier. American varieties of whiskey include Bourbon, rye whiskey and corn whiskey, and other varieties are produced in Japan, Wales, Canada, and India.
