Happy International Whiskey Day 2023!
CHEERS!
International Whiskey Day 2023: International Whiskey Day occurs annually on March 27. The Gaelic term for whisky is ‘uisce na beatha,’ which translates to “the water of life.” Soon thereafter, the name was shortened to ‘uisce’ (meaning ‘water’), and the intonation changed from ‘ish-key’ to ‘whiskey’ Since that time, the pronunciation has remained unchanged. Whiskey’s lengthy and illustrious history of careful distillation dates back over 500 years. There is no better way to bring people together than to share a few glasses of whisky and create unforgettable memories. Today is the perfect time for whisky enthusiasts to enjoy a premium bottle with companions. HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL WHISKEY DAY International Whiskey Day’s history is closely tied to that of the beverage. Distillation is an ancient chemical process that dates back to Babylon. First, the “mash” is created by heating grain and water in order to convert carbohydrates into sugars. This is due to the fact that the variety of grain used during distillation determines the final whisky. Thus, the wort is the first stage in the life of this magnificent beverage. Additionally, maturation in a cask is common. The process of ageing is worthwhile. n 2000 B.C., the earliest evidence of distillation was discovered in Mesopotamia. In the year 100 A.D., Alexander of Aphrodisias distilled seawater to produce potable water. Prior to the year 1100, when monks travelling to Scotland fermented grain mash and produced the first whisky, distillation processes already existed. In 1405, the first official mention of whisky as a distillate was made. n 2008, the first mention of the annual International Whiskey Day was made. International Whiskey Day was established in 2009 at the Northern Netherlands Whisky Festival. To honour the late whisky writer Michael James Jackson, International Whiskey Day was created. To commemorate Michael James Jackson’s birthday, who was born on March 27, 1942, the date has been carefully selected. Michael Jackson, an English author and journalist, has written numerous volumes on beer and whisky. His knowledge of malt whisky and beer were both well-known. Michael Jackson’s whisky evaluations are well-known. On a scale ranging from 0 to 100, a score of 75 indicates that the whisky is worth purchasing. In spite of all the attention he received as a beer writer, his achievements in the whisky industry vastly overshadow his impact in the beer industry. He was among the most influential whisky authors since Alfred Barnard. His achievements were widely recognized, and he was awarded the honorific title “Master of the Quaich.” As a result, his whisky publications and tastings were always sold out. He had a significant impact on the global development of single malt whisky. All of the labour required to organise International Whiskey Day is performed by whisky enthusiasts from around the globe.
