Detailed explanation-1: -Each dark spirit starts with corn, rye, barley, or wheat grains. Most whiskeys are made with a blend of multiple grains to create texture, depth, and flavor. Here is a quick rundown of the commonly used grains in your favorite whiskeys. Corn grains are best for those who need an easy-drinking beverage.
Detailed explanation-2: -If we ask the question: what is Scotch made from, then the answer is water, yeast and malted barley. To use the ‘scotch’ name, the whisky must use malted barley. This is also where we get the term ‘malt’ from. Grain whisky in Scotland traditionally uses corn or wheat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Under the regulations governing the production of both Irish and Scotch whisky, malt whisky must be produced from a mash of 100% malted barley and must be distilled in a pot still. In Scotland, a whisky that uses other malted or unmalted cereals in the mash in addition to malted barley is termed a grain whisky.
Detailed explanation-4: -It can be any type of cereal-usually barley, corn, or rye. Sometimes maize (a sweet type of corn), wheat, or even oat or millet is used. In Japan, you can even have whisky made from rice.
