In his earthly days the religious brought to Ireland a  new technique of distillation that  began the long road to tourism of the uisce beatha, as it was known whiskey  in the Gaelic language.

In 1170 the Normans of Henry II of England, Duke of Normandy were fond of strong, beneficial and  even resplendent uisce beatha before every fighting.

Normans baptized as whiskey. The brew of Saint Patrick is still making history,

Nowadays millions of people around the world «wet» their personal and collective parties with Scotch.

Edinburgh and  all Scotland have assumed centuries ago the whiskey as their own.

Soon  in Edinburgh  a building currently empty located in the beautiful Scottish ancient city could become a world-class whiskey center.

An example of what awaits vacationers is the Glenkinchie distillery, half an hour’s drive from Edinburgh,  a Victorian building built in 1825.

In its surroundings are preserved the old houses   where whiskey artisans used to live in the early years.

Some of the scotch qualities are still made in the traditional way, in wooden barrels and following the exact steps of two centuries ago.
