I think alcohol is the general name of the family of: methanol, ethanol, propanol...
Whiskey is mainly a mixture of ethanol (40 %) and water.
Because whisky contain water, ethanol and many other minor organic components.
Yes, that's the way spirits such as whiskey and brandy are made, by evaporating lower strength mixtures and condensing out the alcohol
Ethanol
Ethanol is a colourless liquid.
Whiskey is mainly a mixture of ethanol (40 %) and water.
Whisky contains Ethanol. Ethanol boiling point is 78.3C. So at this temperature whiskey also boils
Yes, since there are 7 calories from each gram of ethanol.
Distillation is used to extract ethanol.
No, because at that level of alcohol, it can no longer be legally classified as whiskey. In fact, as soon as you pass 190 proof, the only thing it can be called is ethanol.
To separate ethanol (ethyl alcohol) from whiskey, distillation is the most effective method. This process involves heating the whiskey to vaporize the ethanol, which has a lower boiling point than water and other components. The vapor is then collected and cooled to condense it back into liquid form, resulting in a higher concentration of ethanol. However, this method requires proper equipment and adherence to legal regulations, as distilling alcohol can be illegal in many jurisdictions without a license.

Assuming the minimum for is 40% ABV for whisky, expect at least 72ml of ethanol in your whisky.
Whiskey contains more than one chemical compound, but the "active ingredient" for those who regard whiskey as a medicine is ethanol, alternatively called "ethyl alcohol". Its molecular formula is C2H6O, more often written as H3CCH2OH or CH3CH2OH.

well i would say ethanol which is the alcohol you find in all alcoholic beverages we human beings consume.
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.
