Grain whisky ordinarily refers to any whisky made (at least in part) from grains other than malted barley, such as whisky made using maize (corn), wheat or rye. Grain whiskies can also contain some malted barley. Most American whiskeys andCanadian whiskeys are grain-based. Grain whisky is typically distilled in a continuous column still in a manner that results in a higher percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV), but less flavorful spirit.
