Whiskey is a kind of spirits. It is a very famous distilled liquor, which is made from grains such as barley, rye, oats, wheat and corn through fermentation, distillation, aging in oak barrels and finally blending.

Vodka is made from potato, corn, barley or rye. Through cooking, the starch in raw materials is saccharified first, and then the liquor with alcohol content as high as 96% is distilled. After completion, the impurities in the liquor are filtered and adsorbed by charcoal, and diluted with distilled water before bottling. The final alcohol content is about 40%-50%.
