The "History of Whisky" website <http://www.history-of-whisky.com/> suggests that the ancient Celts, who are generally accepted as knowing how to distill grains as early as 800 BCE, might have made whisky, from barley, rye, and/or wheat. Barley alone would make malt whiskey, while blended whiskey contain a mix of grains. Rye whisky is a blend containing at least 51% rye in the mix. The introduction of maize by the Lunars takes on even more sinister connotations, as maize is the prime ingredient of bourbon... which can be higher in alcohol content than other whiskies.

Don't let the Shepelkirt pollute your precious bodily fluids... just say no to maize! :)
