Usquebaugh - meaning the Water of Life - is the Gaelic word for Whisky, known the world over as Scotland's national drink - It has been distilled in Scotland for centuries, some people believing that it was introduced from Ireland by the missionary monks in the 6th century. It may well have evolved, however, as a means of using up barley which would otherwise have rotted after a wet harvest. Whatever its origins, no visitor to Scotland should leave the country without visiting at least one of our malt distilleries. Scotland has over 150 working distilleries and several whisky producing regions ranging from the Lowlands, to Highland Perthshire, Speyside and the Islands. More than 500 different malt whiskies are distilled in Scotland, some of them rarely seen outside our country.
