Whisk(e)y and brandy are both distilled spirits.

whisky cognac and brandy are both distilled spirits. However, they’re made differently.

Whisky is typically distilled from fermented grain mash, while brandy is usually made from fermented fruit juice (grapes or apples). As a result, whisky has a higher alcohol content than brandy because it’s not diluted with water before being bottled as it would be if you were creating brandy out of grape juice. Another difference between the two distillates is that whisky has an unpronounceable Gaelic name (wh-uh-kah), while brandy only has one syllable (bruh-dee). The only thing that remains true about all this information is that both whisk(e)y and brandy are delicious!

whisky cognac is traditionally produced by distilling malted barley which has been dried over peat smoke in a traditional pot still. The resulting spirit is then aged in wooden casks for at least three years before being bottled as whiskey or labeled as Scotch. Grain whiskies may be distilled with or without a single malt component such as corn or rye; this will affect flavor but not whether it’s categorized as a single-malt or blended whiskey. Bourbon must be distilled from at least 51% corn with other grains typically making up the remainder of the mash bill: wheat, barley, etc., depending on what’s locally available but often including rye too.

Different grain, different alcohol content, different taste

Whisky is a distilled spirit made from a fermented mash of cereal grains such as corn, rye, wheat and malted barley. Brandy is a distilled spirit made from the distillation of wine. Whisky is aged in wooden barrels, while brandy is not.

The whisky you buy will have an alcohol content between 40% and 50%, while brandy has an alcohol content between 40% and 60%. The difference in taste may be due to whether the drink comes from sweet or dry grapes; wine that comes from sweet grapes produces more sugar than dry grapes do—and this sugar causes some brandies to take on fruity notes that are absent in their whisky counterparts.

Conclusion

Whisky and Brandy are both made from grain mash, but they are different in many ways. One of the biggest differences is that brandy comes from wine, while whiskey and whisky (yes, the spelling differs regionally) are distilled from grain mash. Another difference between these spirits is their alcohol content; brandy has a higher level of alcohol than whisky or whiskey does because it was originally made as a way to preserve wine after fermentation had finished. If you’re looking for something sweet with some bite at the end or just want something different than what’s already on your shelf then try out either one of these two spirits!
