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.
Whiskey is made from a fermented grain mash, usually of barley, rye, wheat or corn. Depending on where it's made or what it's made from, whiskey can be found under different names. None have carbs or sugar added. Most whiskey has an alcohol content of about 40 percent by volume.
