Uisge beatha or usquebaugh are two different spellings of the old Gaelic term for "water of life." This, to English speaking people, sounded like "uishgi" and over time was corrupted to "whisky."

Our November tradition of whisk(e)y tastings continued with an evening dedicated to the finest from our cousins south of the border on Wednesday November 13, 2002. Eight of our premium cellared bourbons, most of which are not currently locally available were assessed.

In the end, things were crowded on the winners podium with Blanton's Reserve, Old Rip Van Winkle, and Old Weller topping the field. Our tasting panel enthusiastically waved the Confederate flag, placing seven of the eight within two points of each other at the top.
