History of International Irish Whiskey Day
In Irish, 'uisce betha' means 'water of life'. The word 'whiskey' is said to have originated from this Irish expression. Irish whiskey is believed to have become very popular in Europe in the 12th century. The story continues that Irish monks learned the method of distilling spirits from other countries in Europe and brought back the teachings. This method was further developed and these edible spirits were created. Irish whiskey is traditionally made in a still.
Sir Thomas Phillips' Bushmill in Antrim, which many say is the oldest distillery in the world, was licensed to distill whiskey in 1608. It was sanctioned by King James. In 1757 the distillery received a license to trade, making it the first distillery to trade in Ireland. In 1759, a law was passed that allowed potatoes, sugar and corn to be added to Irish whiskey. In the 1800s, Ireland quickly became the whiskey capital of the world. The famous whiskey company Tullamore Dew was founded in 1829 by John Jameson.
