Whiskey
Whiskey is a distilled alcoholic beverage crafted from fermented grain mash, typically including barley, corn, rye, or wheat. This amber-colored spirit derives its distinctive caramel and vanilla notes from aging in wooden casks, with production methods varying significantly by region—Scotch whisky uses malted barley and oak aging in Scotland, while Bourbon requires at least 51% corn and new charred oak barrels in the United States. At 40-50% alcohol by volume, it provides approximately 70 calories per ounce with negligible carbohydrates, though its primary nutritional consideration involves mindful consumption due to alcohol content.
