Schnapps and Whiskey aren't the same thing. Trust me on this one.

Yep......Encylcopedia Britannica would agree with you

Whiskey.....
also spelled whisky any of several distilled liquors made from a fermented
mash of cereal grains and including Scotch, Irish, and Canadian whiskeys and
the various whiskeys of the United States. Whiskey is always aged in wooden
containers, usually of white oak. The name, spelled without an e by the
Scots and Canadians and with an e in Ireland and the United States, comes
from the Celtic usquebaugh.

I wonder what part of "always aged in wooded containers" asslicker cannot
comprehend.

Once again, asslicker proves he is "King of the NG idiots"

I do have a question, since you live in a mauve trailer, does that
make you
gay?

What on earth makes you think that I live in a mauve trailer, Smithers?
Be specific, I'd LOVE to see your reasoning behind that. I'll bet it's
quite ignorant.
Now, grain alcohol does NOT necessarily have to be "aged in charred oak
barrels" to be considered whiskey. That is where you, and the others,
are mistaken.
Take a look he

And then read this:
Whiskey - A liquor produced from the fermented mash of grains such as
barley, corn, and rye. Popular varieties of whiskey (spelled "whisky"
in Canada and Scotland) include bourbon, Canadian whisky, Irish
whiskey, rye, and scotch.

Then read this:
whiskey - [source: www.dictionary.com]
An alcoholic liquor distilled from grain, such as corn, rye, or barley,
and containing approximately 40 to 50 percent ethyl alcohol by volume.

What is confusing you, and others, is the distinction of Irish Whiskey,
Scotch Whiskey, etc. Whiskey is still called whiskey, before
maturation. It is ONLY during maturation that whiskey comes in contact
with oak, charred oak, or other wood barrels.
