Summary: The term “whisky” is used to describe a type of alcohol distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in oak casks. “Whiskey” is used to describe Irish whiskey, which must be distilled while “whisky” is used to describe Scotch whisky, which is distilled twice and aged for at least 3 years before being bottled. It is believed that the history of whisky dates back to the 8th century, but the legend of St. Patrick's introduction of the distillation process to Britain puts its origins a few hundred years earlier. American varieties of whiskey include Bourbon, rye whiskey and corn whiskey, and other varieties are produced in Japan, Wales, Canada, and India.

In this free online guide to whiskey you'll learn all about the alcoholic beverage the Irish call “uisce beatha” or “Water of Life.” Expert Patrick McMenamin gives you a history of Scotch whiskies, explains the differences in single malt whiskeys and blended whiskeys, and offers tips on how to read a whisky label to know exactly what you're drinking. He also talks about the most popular brands of whiskies, including the most famous Irish whiskeys. And most importantly, he shows you how to serve whiskey, and what you can mix with it if its deliciously aromatic flavors should overwhelm you.
