What is the difference between brandy,whisky, rum and jin?!
Brandy is distilled wine or fermened fruit. Fruit brandy's include peach, apricot or blackberry brandy. Normally it is not aged like wine but distilled immediately after fementation.
Rum is made from sugar cane.
Gin(not jin) is a whiskey base with added botanicals normally distilled in a pot still. Gin must have Juniper Berries, Corriander, Orange Peel and other botanicals for flavor. See link below for more details.
Whiskey is a whole different animal and includes many different types but is a femented grain based distilled spirit that is aged in wooden barrels to take on some of the flavors and colors from the wood. There are blended whiskys such as Bourbon and unblended such as single malt scotch or corn whiskey.
Moonshine is whiskey without the aging.
In the end it is the pre-fermentation and fermention process, and the aging that makes the tastes different. Some grains are roasted. Scotch is supposed to be roasted over a peat fire before fermentation and distilled in a pot still not a column still and I am told aged in old wine barrels.

The main difference between all of your base liquors such as brandy, gin, rum whiskey etc. is what they are distilled from. Brandy is distilled from low quality wine then aged in oak casks to mellow it and give it flavor. Whiskey is distilled from grains and then aged in the same manner as brandy. Rum is distilled from sugar cane and can be drank young or after it has been aged. Gin is distilled from grains like whiskey but they add botanicals such as lemon peel, juniper and cassia to flavor it; gin is not generally aged.
