The Origin Of Whiskey

Posted by admin under Wine & Liquor

Whiskey is a powerful drink and whiskey is a powerful word—possibly because both are of Irish origin. The English articulation of the word in use today is based upon a word the earliest Gaels applied to the result of their stills, for it appears they were the primary whiskey-makers.

The name they gave the distilled spirit was singularly fitting—they called it “uisgebeatha.” If we scrutinize the word we find that “uisge” (pronounced oosh’gee) means “water,” “beatha” means “life,” and the two combined mean “water of life.” All of which goes to establish that nobody can beat the Irish for suitable naming. In time this intoxicating creation of Ould Ireland’s stills became “whiskbae,” later “whiskie,” and finally just plain “whiskey.”
