Scotch Whiskey

The word 'whiskey' is derived from the Scottish-Celtic expression 'uisge betha', which means 'water of life'. Legend has it that the first whiskey in the world was made by Benedictine monk John Corr from the Monastery of Lindores in Scotland. However, the Irish insist that they invented the alcoholic beverage. Malt Whiskey, which is only made from barley malt. Single malt is made exclusively from barley malt and only in one distillery unlike blend whiskey. Scotch means whiskey is distilled and aged in Scotland and is a trademark all over the world. Irish is whiskey, distilled and aged in Ireland. The main difference between Scotch and Irish is that in Scotland they distill the drink twice and on Green Island three times.
