Hello my name is Patrick McMenamin the owner of Caledonia Bar here in Budapest and I'm
here this morning on behalf of Expert Village to tell you something about Scottish whiskey
and the range of Scottish whiskey we have here at the Caledonia. If you image the Scottish
highlands around 500 A D a savagely rough and rustic highlands with water flowing in
bodies swirling and the wind. A group of Irish monks then arrived with what they're called
a wonderful recipe for turning for what was then very much fermented beer and for what
they're called the water of life. The process for doing this was probably already discovered
possibly in far East India or even indeed China, but indeed the Irish monks came to
Scotland and helped turn what was then very rough fermented oatmeal and drunk as beer
and to what we're called today the water of life, which is indeed whiskey. As an English
corruption of the ancient name for spirits which is the water of life Scotch means simply
that the whiskey was distilled armatured in Scotland, whiskey of course made in other
countries in Ireland and Japan and indeed American. Whiskey's may have well be and possibly
even good whiskeys but Scotch is always made armatured in Scotland.
