History of World Whisky Day:

I am sure that they are lot many individuals who love to have whisky but never knew anything about having a World Whisky Day exists. So here is our attempt to help you understand when this has begun and what is the origin.

The origins of word Whisky was found in the Gaelic language.

In classic Gaelic language, Whisky was called as Uisce Beatha, which eventually became Uisce Beatha in Ireland and Uisge Beatha in Scotland.

Wondering what is the meaning of Uisce Beatha or Uisge Beatha?

Well, it means “Water of Life”, tells us how important and vital this beverage was to Gaels.

Going forward, names changed slightly and got to Uisce/Uisge and then finally started calling it as Whisky.

Well, if your wife or family/ friends are concerned about your alcohol levels, then just tell them that you are drinking the water of life!

So, what is Whisky?

Well if you want to understand where is your delicious Whisky is from then here we go:

It comes from rich flavorful grains which go through a fermentation process to form a mash. Further, the mash is then distilled it down to get the pure spirit.  Distillation stage is crucial because the whole purpose of distillation process is to purify the alcohol from a fermented mash. The distillation process takes place only in a copper still (device).

Copper still is used because it removes sulfur from the drink, if not our delicious whisky would be in a stage where one cannot enjoy the drink.
