Kinda-sorta. Read the label: OniKiller Straight Sakemush. It's Japanese whiskey, which is based on the Scottish variant (in this case, made from sake mush instead of malt), and has been aged for 2+ years in the cask (the Straight attribute)

Whisk(e)y is just a generic term for the drink, the two main types are American whiskey and Scottish whisky, with American being divided up into several subtypes such as bourbon for 51+% corn, rye, wheat, etc. American whiskey is usually distilled once, while Scotch is distilled at least twice, more like three times, with some more expensive brands being distilled up to twenty times. There are further differences in aging, the types of casks used, etc. and the resulting flavors can be quite different.

Do so, then! If I remember my Islamic studies correctly, only intoxication is prohibited, or if you're more conservative, fermented grape or dates, none of which are present in whisky. The latter reasoning was used in the movie The Thirteenth Warrior to allow the Arab warrior to drink the Norse mead.
And Kikimaru's right in saying that a small dose regularly does good: red wine, for example, is exceptionally beneficial.
