The name whiskey originally means "aqua vitae" that is "water of life" and seems to be one of the most well-known alcoholic beverages around the world. It is made from fermented grain mash, however there are various types of this drink which can have slightly different flavour. The types include for example English, American or German whiskey.

It must be highlighted that whiskey's amazing flavour is gained thanks to keeping it in special whiskey barrels. Hence, for example, Irish whiskey, is previously kept in barrels used for the production of other alcoholic beverages, to be precise sherry or porto - which gives them special character. When it comes to another type of whiskey called Single Malt Whiskey, an important element of the process of its production is the time it has to spend in oak barrels which were also previously used for sherry, porto or burbon storage.
