I was hoping to find out more but it feel like the documentary was much too short. really enjoyed the part talking about the origin of the name and where everything started from as I enjoy history as well as understand how whiskey is made. thank you for the short and informative video.
@@paraic9163 In the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish whiskey was better than Scotland's. Later, because of the Irish famine, higher taxes, the Irish War of Independence, etc., a large number of distilleries closed, and there were opportunities for Scotch whisky.
The first confirmed written record of whisky in Ireland comes from 1405, in the Irish Annals of Clonmacnoise, which attributes the death of a chieftain to "taking a surfeit of aqua vitae" at Christmas. In Scotland, the first evidence of whisky production comes from an entry in the Exchequer Rolls for 1494 where malt is sent "To Friar John Cor, by order of the king, to make aquavitae", enough to make about 500 bottles
Of course long ago water was unsafe to drink. Actually in some parts of the world water is definitely still unsafe to drink. So making alcoholic drinks would kill those germs. It is the heat and the processes that kills them off. But to make whiskey..delicious whiskey.
The Scottish thing with Ireland is weird. Ireland was the center of the Gaelic world, which had little attachments in western and northern Scotland. All of this shit - whiskey, the language, the customs etc are Irish in origin. It’s like a Spaniard saying, no one knows where this language and wine making came from.😂
@@jessejamesladeroute Aye the ten year old is an alright whiskey I have to say. But again taste is subjective, I just find the Irish whiskeys more approachable than Scotch.
History Lesson: 1) Whiskey originated from Irish Monks, 2) First version of Bagpipes originated in Ireland, and 3) Scott's learned "Galic Language " from the Irish.
Now can we establish who the real alcoholics where and it isn't use Native American's. 1494 "written history".. for us natives at that time we didn't even have a writing system or metal to make any kind of liquor. We had better things that grew from the ground..like peyote.
It's whiskey, not whisky. And it's from Ireland, not Scotland. And it's Irish, not Gaelic. Gaelic is the culture of the Gaels, not just the language. And it's 'uisce bheatha' and pronounced 'ishh-ka vah-ha', not the way he said. God! The Scots will rob anything that's not theirs, even from the english but especially from Ireland. Pathetic.
+Number 69 Whiskey is Irish, Whisky is Scottish - Have you heard of the Scots/Irish people, we have moved between countries so often there's like 20 miles apart whats the difference
Actually. Wrong. It's the other way around. Irish people went to Scotland. The Picts, Scots, Celts, Gaels, etc......all traveled to Scotland FROM IRELAND.....not the other way around. That's why Irish is the oldest version of the Godelic 'Q' languages.
Thats what i pointed out to Number 69 but he kinda just ignored it, because of the famines and land clearances the people moving between the 2 countries could never have been recorded. Not sure what we stole from the english, we can all see what the english stole from the world
Cad e an fadbh, a mhate? Tá Gàidhlig (nó "Ga-lic" as bearla na hAlba) teanga eile agus níl sé "whiskey" nó "whisky" as Gaeilge nó Gaidhlig, mar sin nach cuma?... Calm down mate. There's plenty of culture to go round. French comes from Latin, doesn't mean the language isn't theirs. This many centuries deep into the game, I think we can let the Scots keep their language and their liquor with at least a little pride. Sure f*k it, all languages were 'stolen' from something older, Irish included. Sláinte. (nó "slàinte" in Albain...)
I think the kindredship of Ireland and Scotland should be highlighted more so, rather than this obvious attempt to dislocate us politically and culturally.
Scot’s are softer versions of the Irish who left here and the wee Scots couldn’t get free from England, bless. Jameson is all you’ll ever need. Uisce beatha 😊

Brian Cox narrates documentaries quite well.....
Where can I find the entire documentary?!
The fact that Alcohol came from an Arabic word makes me think of that meme "I guide people to a treasure I cannot possess"
Beer came from Iraq, Spirits came from Arabs, Whisky came from Ireland, AND Lagavulin came from Scotland 🏴
Beer came from Egypt??
Ryan lex I just corrected it, it came from Iraq
Whiskey originated in Ireland not Scotland and the term translated to water of life came from Ireland.
I honestly think there are people in power trying their damn hardest to dislocate Scotish- Irish kindship for political reasons ...
@@MacCionnaith like the kinship with the Scots in Northern Ireland? 😅

Yes uisce beatha is Irish even the Scottish name is uisge beatha is an Irish word so the Scots can hardly claim it over the Irish

Actually it was more safer to drink.less human population ='s..well whatever problems mass human population brings
Why is it so difficult to credit the Irish with being the founders of Whiskey?
Because it’s all the Scot’s have
Because it isn't substantiated with evidence.
The guy at 1:45 has a complete mashup of southern Scot, Irish and Scandinavian it's such a weird accent
Good observation
It’s Geordie
Whiskey was created in Ireland.
Whisky... I love you and I want to have your babies.
Ah, I bet that's it.
It must be the 'Bushmills babies' that stomp around my sore head the morning after.

I know and the Scots are adamant that they created whisky utter nonsense when u think about it
Probably a Rangers supporter thing 😉
Scots are plastic paddies
@@mrmc2465 I think the idea that a certin country created whiskey is ludicrous.
Why’d the video stop?
Why did the BBC delete this documentary? It isn't even on your web site 😡
My whole life, never imagined that I'm spelling the word in it's original language (yes I do speak Arabic)
Jesus is the only way to heaven
Whiskey comes from Ireland.
The Scots just can't admit the Gaels from Ireland taught them how to make it.
I've noticed that myself
@@StiofanGaillimh doesn't mean it tastes better
@@jessejamesladeroute that's entirely subjective. I know id take redbreast, yellow spot or a Midleton rare over any scotch every day of the week.
@@StiofanGaillimh then you don't understand the appeal of ardbeg

Whisky comes from the store. That's all you need to know.

There's more of it right????? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!????
The origin of whiskey should be credited to Ireland. British broadcasting, im not surprised. Thumbs down

The Scot’s are orange men and plastic paddies with a “chip”. Groundskeeper Willie is their most famous export
