I thought they'd stirred up enough trouble in Ireland without adding to it still :-) Seriously, I never touch the stuff, but I'd like to wish all in that beautiful land of faerie a wonderful St Patrick's day, and a wonderful day to you too, Fran xxxVallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-52068688541216395632013-03-16T22:49:31.724+00:002013-03-16T22:49:31.724+00:00Whisky makes you frisky

Now I will go back to the Dutchman and tell him to get his story straight! Personally I am not a whiskey lover, but I can take a drop of Irish whiskey occasionally.

Fran there are many tall tales told about Whisky and an awful lot of bad mouthing towards the Irish : (<br />Gaelic whisky was first documented in 1405 in the Irish Annals of Clonmacnoise, an Irish chronicle translated in the early 17th century. Herein there is a written record of the death of chieftain, at Christmas time, after “taking a surfeit of aqua vitae”. Scotland has its first record of the water of life in 1494 in the form of an entry in the Exchequer Rolls where the malt was sent “to Friar John Cor, by order of the king, to make aquavitae”. Usquebaurgh became whisky during the 12th Century, during an invasion of Ireland when King Henry II’s soldiers bastardized the term.A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.com
