Whiskey

Eric pours some whisky to the Basterds.

“Whiskey.”

―Hugo Stiglitz

Whiskey (in United States) or whisky (in Great Britain) is a type of distilled strong alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash.

In Inglourious Basterds

Lt. Archie Hicox serves himself and general Ed Fenech straight whisky. At the La Louisiane, Wicki, Stiglitz and Hicox order some whiskey. Before departing, Dieter Hellstrom offers the three Basterds a 33 year old whisky. Hicox commented that it is "damn good stuff, sir".

Trivia

• The choice of strong drink by the Basterds and the Germans in the French tavern mirrors the WWII Western front: The Basterds table, aka the Allied side, drink whiskey, a Western drink, while the Germans table, the enemy side, drink schnapps, a German drink; there's a fight between the two sides on French territory (the La Louisiane tavern), which ends with The Basterds (Allies) winning, though at heavy costs and the French territory being severely damaged.
