The whiskey most likely comes from Ireland. Irish monks were making a liquor known as aqua vitae (the Gaelic name uisge beatha is a translation from Latin) as early as the 7th century. It was a mixture obtained by distillation of fruit fermentation products and used exclusively for medicinal purposes as a means of prolonging life, relieving some ailments (such as colic) and diseases (paralysis, smallpox and others). According to legend, whiskey was invented by St. Patrick. From the 17th century, the shortened form uiskie began to be used, and from around 1715 the name took the form of whiskie. The modern name - whiskey - was established only in 1736. Only high-quality glass is used in professional whiskey tastings.
