Brief Answer:
Yes....In moderation,it is.

Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Various medical studies have been done and have indicated that whiskey in moderation is beneficial for health.

It has antioxidant properties.
It reduces blood cholesterol and prevent clogging of arteries (atherosclerosis).
It increases High Density Lipoproteins (Have a protective role in heart diseases).
These functions promote the cardiovascular health and decreases the risk of heart attack,heart failure,aortic aneurysm,dementia and ischemic stroke.

It also increases the Insulin sensitivity thus benefiting the diabetics.

Here,I would emphasize that it is important to remember that these health benefits are got only by drinking in moderation.
Drinking in high quantities has its own risks and health issues,many of which far outweigh the benefits.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
