AQUA VITAE

AQUA VITAE - It just means the original name of one of the most popular drink in the world.

The ancestors of modern Scottish and Irish called it "uisge beatha" ("water of life"), which subsequently left the modern name "whisky" (in Scotland) or "whiskey" (in Ireland).

The Irish say that only two distilled can not become good whiskey and the Scots they countered that they were not skilled enough when they need a third distillation.

Another distinctive feature is specific that only dry malt in Scotland, of which whiskey is made in special ovens over a fire of peat, hence the specific smoky flavor.

Skotch Whiskeys are divided into two basic types - single malt (malt - from sprouted barley malt called) and grain (grain - barley, rye, wheat or corn).

Blended do is mix of different malt and grain whiskeys and is the most common type of shops and restaurants.

Here some of the best Scotch drinks......for differet taste snd different thick wallet lol

I know, you don`t use any alcohol but at least it is interessting topic I think. Differnt ways which ppl use to drink whiskey.....how they prefer it, with or without some snaks......what about ice cubes inside, yes or not......
Me personaly never use ice, prefer it only with few drops of water...nothing more.

By the way how are you dear? Today here is sunny, no wind.....perfect for walks.
