Which brand among the following is an American whiskey?

• A. Crown Royal
• B. Johnnie Walker
• C. Maker's Mark
• D. Jameson

Answer: (C)

American whiskey is defined by where it’s made and, for bourbon, by using a mash bill with at least 51% corn and aging in new charred oak barrels. Maker's Mark fits this profile as a Kentucky bourbon produced in the United States and aged in fresh charred oak, giving it that distinct corn-forward character. The other brands come from outside the U.S.: Crown Royal is Canadian whisky, Johnnie Walker is Scotch from Scotland, and Jameson is Irish whisky from Ireland. Therefore, Maker's Mark is the American whiskey.
