Best Answer

NO!!!

It is a mixture of water , ethanol, and many fine trace chemicals, These chemicals give whiskey its distinctive taste. The water taste(source), the grain (oats/rye) used, the types of barrel it is matured in, and the length of time the whiskey is matured. All add to the distinctive taste.

NB

Whisky is from Scotland only

Whiskey is from Ireland, USA and elsewhere.

Scottish whisky's are divided into three classifications viz; Blended, De-luxe blended, and Single Malt Whisky.s

This all depends on the levels of salines, water, other chemical content and afe of maturing.
