whats the difference between gin and whiskey ?
Is taste similar or different ?
alc. % should be the same , 40% ?
Not remotely similar in taste, both are distilled spirits but gin is flavoured with juniper berries and other botanicals. Mainly juniper berries.
Whereas whisky is simply distilled from grain and aged for a minimum 3 years (over here at least) in wooden casks. The flavour comes from the grains used (and some other factors) and then from the cask aging. You can't add anything else.
Both have to be minimum 40% alcohol though yep
