Irish Whiskey "Water of Life"
Brief History of Irish Whiskey
The origins of Irish whiskey trace back over a thousand years, making it one of the earliest distilled beverages in Europe. Its roots are often linked to the monastic tradition, with monks believed to have introduced the art of distillation to Ireland.
By the 12th century, Irish whiskey was already a well-established tradition, perfected over centuries. The term ‘whiskey’ itself derives from the Gaelic “uisce beatha,” meaning “water of life,” underlining the drink’s importance in Irish society.
