Whiskey has been a popular drink for many people for hundreds of years. The word Whiskey means "Water of Life", originated in Scotland in the early 1400's. It is made from fermented grain mash. Different types of grain are used, wheat, barley, rye and corn. And all will give an individually different flavour. Once it is distilled it is aged in white oak casks. The taste of the beverage hasn't changed very much since the beginning of manufacture. Some distillers have added a smokey flavour and others have distilled their whiskey more than once, sometimes three times. All these processes help refine the flavour for the discerning drinker.

Whiskey is a wonderful drink for many occasions. Many weddings favour whiskey, as the bride and groom often toast each other to signify their relationship will stand the test of time, just like whiskey has. Ceremonial events have whiskey as the drink for their toasting occasions. Friends will use whiskey to toast each other as a sign of friendship.
