Whisky is a distilled alcoholic beverage that is made from fermenting and distilling grain mash. They can be classified based on the starting material mash, blending and country of origin. Different grains are used to produce a variety of whiskies like barley, corn, rye and wheat.

The processes used for making whisky are fermenting, distilling and ageing. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks that are made of charred white oak. The yeast used in fermenting belongs to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae type. Distillation is usually done in small pot stills or column stills.
