AI overview
Whisky is a spirit made by fermenting grain mash, with different varieties using grains like barley, corn, rye, or wheat. It gains its flavor and color through aging in wooden casks, typically charred white oak, though producers sometimes use previously-used casks that contained port, rum, or sherry to create distinctive tastes.
