Whisky

Whisky or whiskey〔''Oxford English Dictionary'', Second Edition: "In modern trade usage, Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey are thus distinguished in spelling; whisky is the usual spelling in Britain and whiskey that in the U.S."〕 is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn (maize), rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak.
Whisky is a strictly regulated spirit worldwide with many classes and types. The typical unifying characteristics of the different classes and types are the fermentation of grains, distillation, and aging in wooden barrels.
==Etymology==
The word ''whisky'' (or ''whiskey'') is an anglicisation of the Classical Gaelic word ''uisce''/''uisge'' meaning "water" (now written as ''uisce'' in Irish Gaelic, and ''uisge'' in Scottish Gaelic). Distilled alcohol was known in Latin as ''aqua vitae'' ("water of life"). This was translated to Classical Gaelic as (アイルランド語:uisce beatha)/(スコットランド・ゲール語:uisge beatha) "water of life". Early forms of the word in English included ''uskebeaghe'' (1581), ''usquebaugh'' (1610), ''usquebath'' (1621), ''usquebae'' (1715).〔''New English Dictionary on Historical Principles'', entries for ("usquebaugh" ) and ("whisky" ).〕
