| About
Whisky Whisky is an English word deriving from usky, and abbreviation of usquebaugh the Gaelic word for “water of life”. Why “water of life”? Perhaps because distillates were first deemed medicines, a judgment that persists among many.  Whisky is a grain distillate, almost always including a proportion of barley malt. It retains some taste from the water and grains that were its original raw materials: peat used to dry the malt, the casks in which it was matured and from the surroundings in which they slept. Nowhere is this more evident than in Scotland, which has far more whisky distilleries than any other nation in such a diversity of locations. Each distillery produces a spirit with flavors which are shaped by the landscape. While blended scotches combine the flavors of Lowland and Highland, river and coast, the single malts each represent their own mountains, glen or cove. We invite you to come share our passion and embark with us on a journey of discovery through the whisky regions. |
