Whisky at Roam West

The Rich History of Whisky

Whisky, often hailed as the "water of life," traces back over a thousand years. Originating from the Gaelic term "uisge beatha," whisky's roots dive deep into ancient distillation practices introduced by monks. Scotland's climate and abundant barley made it the perfect location for this golden elixir. Legalisation in 1823 spurred growth and innovation, leading whisky to become a symbol of Scottish heritage and craftsmanship.
