Exploring the Rich Legacy of whiskey From Its Origins
The term whisky comes from the Gaelic ‘uisge beatha’ meaning ‘water of life’. Whisky is believed to have been distilled in Scotland for many centuries, with the earliest documented record of whisky distillation in Scotland dating back to 1494. From 1800, producers Tommy Dewar, Johnnie Walker and James Chivas began to expand and export internationally, establishing the legendary reputation of Scotch whisky.
