Uisge beatha to us Scotts should be spelled Whisky. however as a concession to our fellow Irish Celts and American cousins we will use the Whiskey alternative from time to time. Call it what you will and spell it as you wish it is the “water of life”. An excellent remedy for most things. tooth ache. sleeplessness and a bad day.
