What is the origin of Scotch Whisky?

Whatever you call Scotland’s national drink, and whichever Scotch you discover, you know that it is a product of quality, crafted in Scotland, with a unique heritage stretching back more than 500 years. The story of Scotch begins as early as the 15^th century.

How was Scotch Whisky invented?

It’s believed whisky-making began in Scotland as winemaking methods spread from monasteries in Europe; with no access to grapes, monks used grain mash instead to produce an early form of the popular spirit. The name itself derives from the Gaelic name, uisge beatha, which translates loosely to ‘water of life’.

Drink up and throw one down.
