what kind alcohol is in whiskey?

Whiskey is made from fermented grain mash and then distilled. The type of grain used is what determines the type of whiskey. Here are some common examples:

* Bourbon: Made primarily from corn, aged in charred oak barrels.

* Rye Whiskey: Made primarily from rye, also aged in charred oak barrels.

* Scotch Whisky: Made from malted barley, aged in oak barrels.

* Irish Whiskey: Made from a blend of grains, including barley, corn, and wheat.

The alcohol in whiskey is ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol. This is the same type of alcohol found in other alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, and vodka.
