Whiskey made from potatoes is called?

Answer 1

Whiskey is usually made from corn and/or other cereal grains. The only alcohol that I know of that is made from potatoes is some vodkas. Vodka, to my knowledge. You're probably refering to the Irish moonshine known as Pocheen (poo-cheen). This has been illegal for a number of years due to it's potency however there is now a weaker version available on the commercial market.

Answer 2

Potcheen (Poitin), Irish moonshine, is distilled from potatoes. Since legalization two distilleries are now licenced to make it. Some versions of vodka are purported to be made from potatoes although the majority of vodkas worldwideare made from distillation of grape wine or a grain MASH. And vodka is not a whiskey.

Potatoes, when fermented and distilled, will produce a neutral spirit which can then be bottled as vodka or whisky, such as the infamous strong Irish drink, potcheen.
