O is for Other, P is for People scratchin' temple. The last P...well...that's not that simple. It's sorta like another way to call a cat a kitten. It's five little letters that are missin' here.
For the novel of the same name, see Irish Whiskey (novel). Irish whiskey (Irish: Fuisce or uisce beatha) is whiskey made on the island of Ireland. The word whiskey is an Anglicisation of uisce beatha or uisge beatha, a phrase from the Goidelic branch of languages (Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx) meaning water of life (see aqua vitae). Most Irish pot still whiskey is distilled thrice, while most (but not all) Scotch whisky is distilled twice. Peat is rarely used in the malting process, so that Irish whiskey has a smoother finish as opposed to the smoky, earthy overtones common to some Scotches.
Pretty much every whiskey on the market-from Crown Royal to Glenfiddich Scotch-is zero carbs. Scotch is a specific type of whiskey-i.e. whiskey that comes from Scotland. Bourbon is another kind of whisky-i.e. whisky that comes from Kentucky. In general, whiskies from Scotland and Canada are spelled whisky while others are spelled whiskey. Whiskies from Scotland are called Scotch. Bourbon is a little trickier. There is a Bourbon country in Kentucky and most whiskeys from Kentucky are called bourbon after this region. However, a tiny amount of whiskeys made elsewhere in the US call themselves bourbon because they feel they offer the same style.
