The whiskeys produced in different countries are different due to differences in production methods, type and characteristics of grains and mainly due to the type of water used in its manufacture. For example, whiskey made in Scotland, known as Scotch Whisky, is inimitable because only scotland snowmelt water has to come from granite rock formations colorado. Due to this reason, most of the distilleries are in the places that have been installed since the water available is melting into some sort of rock formation. The American rock formations ranging from Pennsylvania, through southern Indiana and into Kentucky. The second equivalent training is in Maryland.

The earliest written account that has been found dating from 1494 in which the proportion of "Eight rolls of malt for Mr. John Cor intended to produce aquavitae" indicated. However, he must have prior knowledge of the production of the drink since the Arab alchemist Albukassen was describing the distillation process in his writings of the 10th century. The term used to describe the distillation was aquavitae Latin that read, in English water of life.

From there it is taken to the ovens for drying, this operation is done with the purpose of acquiring barley taste of smoke, which is obtained using a class called peat charcoal. After the malt is ground, mixed with hot water and poured into a Cuba where soluble sugars are converted into wort are removed for fermentation. The wort is cooled and placed in large vats where yeast is allowed to ferment, becoming a low-alcoholic liquid called "wash". Historically the "wash" was distilled twice in copper stills, of first obtaining a liquid called "low wine" that produced distilled spirits trasla second. Once aged, the alcohol concentration of the liquid is reduced by adding distilled water, then filtering and bottling.

Distillers grain cereals used especially for barley and oats distillers continuous distillation, thus producing a mild flavored liqueur. Most malt Scotch whiskey is used for the manufacture of mixed Scotch. Irish whiskey is smooth, silky and round to the Scot.
