Whiskey, a kind of distilled alcohol, is the old saying of historical records of Scottish who compared it to Water of Life.

Instead of drinking at that time, however, it mainly used in Alchemy and medicine.

It will be hardly known where is the origin of it.

Scotland, because the history of the Whiskey production has been over 500 years, is thought to be the cradle of Whiskey.

Scotch whiskey without an age statement may, by law, be as young as three years old.

In 1506s, James IV of Scotland had a great liking for Scotch whiskey, and purchased a large amount of whiskey in the town of Dundee, which held the monopoly on production at the time.

Between 1536 and 1541, King Henry VIII of England dissolved the monasteries and sent their monks out into the general public.

Since then, Whiskey productions moved out of a monastic setting and into personal homes and farms.

Those newly independent monks who needed to find a way to earn money for themselves then lived by teaching.

The written word of Whiskey showed up in the Exchange Rolls about the year 1494s, it was said, Eight bolls of malt were sent to Friar John Cor, by order of the king, to make aquavitae, enough to make about 1500 bottles.

Its use spread through medieval monasteries, largely for medicinal purposes, such as the treatment of colic and smallpox.

The distilleries had developed rapidly.

It seem that man was making a real effort to produce the best Whiskey 1494s earlier than has been recorded.
