CultureWhisky made in Scotland, often called ' Scotch', is made mostly from barley and is usually sold as a blend (= mixture) of several types. A more expensive type of Scotch whisky is 'single malt', made in the Highlands from a single type of grain. Many people drink whisky mixed with water, soda water or soft drinks (= drinks containing no alcohol) such as ginger ale or cola, while others prefer to drink it with nothing added, or with ice (called on the rocks). Whiskey is the usual spelling for the drink made in Ireland and the US.see also bourbon
