The Scots most likely learned about distilling from the Irish (though they are loath to admit it). The Irish in turn learned about it, according to the Irish at least, from missionary monks who arrived in Ireland in the seventh century and were distilling aqua vitae (“water of life”), primarily for making medical compounds. Thus, the word whiskey comes from the Gaelic uisce beatha, meaning water of life. Today Irish Whiskey is one of the fastest growing spirit categories in the world.
What makes Irish Whiskey Irish? According to the regulations set forth in the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980:
Come talk Irish Whiskey with Whiskey expert and educator Aine O’Conner along with Tullamore Dew Brand Ambassador, Niall O’ Connor. Stop in any time from 6-9pm.
