My mom's 2 sisters are having a baby shower for me. My mom passed away when I was a teenager. I am very close to my dad and would like him to be at my baby shower, especially since my mom can't be. He would be the only man there.
Whisky is made from grain. This is what distinguishes it from other distilled beverages like brandy, which is made from grapes, and calvados, which is made from apples. Simply speaking, whisky is nothing more than distilled beer. Like beer, malted barley and other grains are the source of the sugars necessary for fermentation. The sugars in the grain are released by steeping it in hot water. This sweet liquid, known as âwort,â is cooled down.
Grain whisky ordinarily refers to any whisky made, at least in part, from grains other than malted barley, such as whisky made using maize (corn), wheat or rye. Grain whiskies may also contain some malted barley (and are required to if produced in Scotland). Whisky made from only malted barley (or primarily from malted barley) is typically called malt whisky rather than grain whisky (although barley is a grain). Most American whiskeys and Canadian whiskys are grain-based.
