Event of the day! June 1st

Post by Made In Quebec »

Did you know that,

522 years ago, a monk named John Cor receives, by the order of the king the first recorded batch of Scotch Whisky. It was sent by the king in order to make the "Water of Life". I am certain the monk was not disapointed, he received enough make approximately 1,500 bottles.

History, needs never be forgotten!

King James IV liked to party


To get the word whisky you have to slur the Gaelic word "uisge"
“uisge beatha” or “usquebaugh,” means “water (aqua) of life (vitae).”
