Oy Oy Let's Have a Whiskey Thread

Whiskey.

Whisky (Scottish English) or whiskey (Hiberno-English) is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize (corn). Whisky is aged in wooden casks, made generally of white oak, except that in the United States corn whiskey need not be aged.

It's good stuff, and there's so much variety.

You've got bourbon:



rye:



scotch:



irish:




Even the Japanese make whiskey!



I'm currently drinking this stuff:



I love rye whiskey, and the Bulleit stuff is made with 95% rye. It's very strong and sharp; the aftertaste is slightly fruity, but in a... masculine way, I suppose. I can definitely taste the cherry the tasting guides talk about.

But that's me. What's your whiskey?
