Where was whiskey first made?

There are 2 contenders for the title of the birthplace of whiskey: Ireland and Scotland. But where exactly this drink originated, probably, no one can answer unambiguously, because each country has its own myth, the history of the creation of the first recipe for this type of alcohol.

According to the Scots, with the arrival of missionaries carrying Christian doctrine on their lands, the production of a barley-based alcoholic beverage began. These people revealed to the inhabitants of Scotland the secrets of distillation. In turn, the missionaries received the knowledge of making a drink from the crusaders who returned from campaigns in the Middle Eastern countries. The inhabitants of Foggy Albion decidedmake their own adjustments to the recipe and replaced the grapes with germinated barley grains. The result was stunning! The original name of alcohol is uisge beatha, which translates only as "water of life". Many years later, alcohol has a new name, which is known to this day - whiskey.

The legend of Ireland is somewhat different. It says that Saint Patrick, who is the spiritual patron of the island state, converted all pagans to the Christian faith, after which he created "holy water", which today is called whiskey. Also, the Irish pay tribute to a real historical character: Enes Coffey, who in the 30s of the XIX century perfected the distillation of the cube. What is most interesting, there is a Scottish trace in Irish history, since the developer of the alembic device was the Scotsman Robert Stein.
