Happy International Whisky Day! “The water of life” or ‘uisce na beatha’ is the term given to whisky by the Gaelic language - shortened to ‘uisce’ (meaning ‘water’). Over many years the pronunciation gradually shifted from ‘ish-key’ to ‘whisky’…

When it comes to whisky, there’s no better way to bring people together than to have a few glasses - our upcoming Tasting event is the ideal opportunity for our whisky loving members to indulge in some tasty new drams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃
