Whiskey, also known as "water of life", or aqua vitae in Latin.
Whiskey was originally used as a medicine for both internal anesthesia and as an external antibiotic.
The various distillation techniques were brought to Ireland and Scotland sometime between 1100 and 1300 by monks. Since wine was not easy to make in Ireland and Scotland, beer was distilled into spirits, which became whiskey. The manufacture of distilled spirits was limited to apothecaries and monasteries until the late 15th century.
Whiskey is today the world's leading spirit! During the last century, it has become popular in almost every country in the world and you can easily understand why.
