Aging should take place for a minimum of three years, after which the drink is bottled. Whiskey (Gaelic: uisge beatha) meaning water of life; Irish and American spellings use the name whiskey. The country of origin of whiskey is Ireland, where the first records of the so-called aqua vitae. It was produced there by monks and used for medicinal purposes, as a means of prolonging life and alleviating disease symptoms. Currently, whiskey is widespread and very popular around the world. It is mainly produced in Scotland, Ireland, the United States, Canada and Japan. Depending on the country of origin, the production process looks different and differs from each other. Scotch whiskey is produced mainly from barley malt and aged for 3 years in oak barrels, Irish whiskey is made only from barley and triple distilled, American whiskey or bourbon is made from corn and other grains, distilled only once and aged only in fresh oak barrels. Canadian whiskey is delicate and smooth in taste, produced from various cereal grains, freely blended and aged in American oak barrels or barrels previously used for the production of bourbon, wine or cherry. Japanese whiskey, in turn, is shrouded in the legend of perfection and excellence, just like Japanese cuisine. It is mainly blended whiskey, diverse in taste and aroma.
