History of Whiskey From its earliest days, whiskey has been known for its curative and creative properties. It evolved into a unique cultural icon of the people who savored it. It has charmed saints and tormented sinners. Each country, each distiller and blender, has made a distinct interpretation of this drink. Today, whiskey is enjoying yet another revival as a cultural icon. While the exact origins are lost in the mists of time, it is generally accepted that the ancient Celts (Scots, Irish, Cornish and Welsh) knew how to distill grains at least as far back as 800 BC. Given that they lacked the climate to grow the more fragile grapevines, their use of cereals such as barley and rye, both of which grew well in the northern European climate, was a logical choice. Those Celts viewed their fiery brew as a gift from their gods that literally brought the dead to life and warmed even the coldest spirit. In fact, in Celtic, whiskey is called "uisge beatha"—the water of life. Slattery's Irish Pub also carries a very complete list of Vodkas, Bourbons, Gins and other potables for your drinking enjoyment. |
