whisky

Whisky is an alcoholic drink made from grain (like corn, wheat, rye, or barley). It's usually made in a special place called a distillery, where the grain is made into a special liquid. The liquid is then aged in barrels for several years, which gives it its special flavor. After it's aged, it can be bottled or sold as whisky. Whisky can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, with mixers or in cocktails. There are lots of different kinds of whisky, and each one tastes a bit different.
