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.
