Had to do a presentation on Irish Whiskey and this was actually the most interesting piece of information I found. Never knew that the history of Irish whiskey could be this fascinating. Thank you!

[@leojanuszewski1019]

I personally prefer scotch. But humanity owes the Irish an enormous debt of gratitude for the fact that we have whisky/ey at all. Thank you Ireland!

I feel like I travelled from mercury to Pluto and back to earth thrice🙏❤️ What a tradition

[@AnthonyGalvin2000]

That was fascinating. Really enjoyed it.

[@MrRussLock]

Never knew or noticed that Irish was Whiskey and Scottish (spitting on the ground ) is spelt Whisky. So very informative. Thanks

Bushmills, followed closely by Jamesons' hits the spot for me every time.

[@erniehernandez7162]

+brendan I agree man Bushmills is really yummy and smooth

[@brendanw45]

ernie hernandez Try it hot in winter - a measure of Bushmills, add enough boiling water to heat the drink to the temperature of a cup of tea and add a couple of cloves (don't forget the teaspoon in the glass to stop it cracking) - if you haven't tried it do so. Also good for a cold. Medicine!

every time they say whiskey you have to take a drink of whiskey = dead

Uniquely Irish..... please tell me that was a joke.....Bourbon is uniquely American, scotch is uniquely Scottish and Irish whiskey is uniquely Irish but whiskey in general is not uniquely Irish.

[@terrykast4834]

The Irish invented whiskey, the name comes from the Irish words water of life. So I would call whiskey uniquely Irish first!

[@richardbostan4286]

+Terry Kast -- It WAS uniquely Irish, until another country started making the same type of thing, about 600-700 years ago. If you want to say Ireland was first, fine. That seems to be generally agreed upon. But since Irish monks first started making whisky about 900-1000 years ago, many other countries have followed suit.

[@adammartin7007]

He didn't say that,he said "Pot Still" whiskey is uniquely Irish and he is right.

[@richardbostan4286]

Who are you replying to? If your comment was directed at me, I addressed the person who said that "whiskey" is uniquely Irish and said nothing about "Pot Still whiskey."

Richard Bostan I was replying to the original comment.
