Whisky is a kind of strong distilled liquor brewed from grains such as barley. It is aged in oak barrels for many years and blended to about 43 degrees. The British call it "the water of life". According to the origin, it can be divided into four categories: scotch whisky, Irish whisky, American whisky and Canadian whisky.
