Whiskey -

[russian-bob.livejournal.com]

I'm native Russian speaker, but after 22+ years in US start loosing it. Recently we had discussion with my dad, who is also native Russian speaker, about Russian usage of word "Виски".

By some reason I always thought that in Russian "Виски" is "они", i.e. always plural, no gender. My dad corrected me that "Виски" is "оно", i.e. singular with neutral gender.
Russian Wikipedia states that there is unsettled discussion about whiskey's gender be "male" or "neutral", but they are referring to it consistently as "он".

What's left? "она", maybe "оне"? :)
I know for sure that Vodka is "она", Cognac is "он", and vine and beer are "оно".

What do you think about whiskey’s gender?

UPD: Thanks everyone, I convinced now that whiskey, like coffee, is mostly "male", but some people can say "оно" anyway.
