You forgot to look up the definition of schnapps.

No, I didn't. Please see below. If you have any more questions, please
feel free to ask. No question is too stupid!

What is whiskey?
Whiskey is a barrel-aged distilled spirit made from grain or malt. It
differs from other types of grain alcohol in that it absorbs colour
and flavour from the barrels during aging,
it retains more flavour from the fermented mash by being distilled at
a lower proof
and being less thoroughly filtered. As a result, it is much more
flavoursome than vodka. Unlike gin and akvavit, it doesn't have other
flavourings added.
