A composed Irish whiskey that can combine gentle grain character with fruit, malt, spice and richer pot-still texture. Familiar examples are approachable and balanced, but the category also accommodates substantial oak, concentrated flavour and distinctive cask finishes. Lightness is a possible objective, not a legal obligation.

A whisky assembled from grain and malt whiskies outside the more specifically named ADI national groupings. It may be light and fruit-forward, richly malty, strongly influenced by wine casks or deliberately smoky. The category's breadth makes balance and clarity more useful than a single mandatory flavour signature.

A corn-dominant whiskey that may be fresh and grain-forward or matured and rounded. Unaged examples can show cornmeal, fresh cereal, dough and fermentation fruit; matured versions add vanilla, light toast and spice. Neither colourlessness nor a rustic presentation is required for the entire category.
A diverse national whisky family ranging from gentle, vanilla-led blends to assertive rye-rich expressions. Fruit, grain, baking spice, floral notes and oak can all contribute. “Canadian” establishes origin and production rules, not an obligation to be light, mild or made chiefly from rye.
An intentionally assembled whiskey whose character can range from light and restrained to richly grain- and oak-driven. ADI groups several legally distinct U.S. blend identities here. There is consequently no single required level of malt, spice, body or complexity that accurately describes the whole entry.
A rye-led American whiskey often showing grain, peppery or baking spice, herbs, fruit and new-oak vanilla.
A malted-barley-led American whiskey shaped by new charred oak, often combining cereal, toasted nuts, cocoa-like impressions, fruit, vanilla and spice.
