Dear Rubrick,
Thanks very much for the information on triple-blended. You wrote:
The word whiskey comes from the Gaelic uisce beatha which translates as 'water of fire'.
...and I must ask, as others have, would you please give us the pronunciation of iusce beatha?
So, water of fire...and then the native Americans called it (probably rum?) firewater.
Bourbon regards,
WaterWater everywhere and not a drop to drink
