The word 'whiskey' (or whisky) is derived from the Irish (or 'Gaelic') uisce beatha, meaning "the water of life". Irish whiskey was one of the earliest distilled drinks in Europe, arising around the 12th century. But what exactly are the differences about Irish Whiskey, Scotch, Bourbon, Japanese Whisky, and why is it spelled with and without the 'e'? Find out all below:
I attended my first ever online Whiskey tasting with the Pot Still in August 2020 as a way to relieve some Lockdown boredom. I enjoyed it so much I have attended every monthly tasting since!
At the start, I was a total whiskey novice and although I still have a long way to go, I have learned a lot about the different types of whiskey and their respective distilling processes. I have even started my own whiskey collection.
The whiskey tastings are a great blend of fun and information. Craig the host not only has an expansive knowledge of everything whiskey but he also creates a fun atmosphere full of interaction between all participants with many of us staying online after tasting for another few drinks and a chat. Highly recommended for a fun way to escape the lockdown blues. (Also must be noted that the sample sizes are very generous 😜)
