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.
Difference Between Blended Whiskey & Bourbon. Whiskey is an alcoholic spirit made from distilled grain or corn that have aged in oak barrels. There are multiple types of whiskey, including bourbon, a straight whiskey made primarily from corn, and blended whiskey, a mixture of straight whiskey and other neutral grain spirits. Blended whiskey is often regarded as being of lower quality than bourbon, although some drinkers find the flavors are similar.
