How to Make It
Trivia The first known written record of whiskey in Ireland dates to 1405 in The Irish Annals of Clomacnoise, which associates the death of a chieftain to “taking a surfeit of aqua vitae (water of life) at Christmas. Such lofty name given to distilled alcohol is not surprising, given alcohol’s pleasant effects on the mind, if taken in moderation of course. |
