The origin of whiskey is unknown. But what is certain is that whiskey has been produced in Scotland for more than 500 years, so Scotland is generally regarded as the birthplace of all whiskey.

According to the Scotch Whiskey Association, Scotch whiskey developed from a drink called "Uisge Beatha" (meaning "water of life"). In the 15th century, Scotch whiskey was mostly used as a cold potion.
