Uishgi

By the way, the name whisky is an English corruption of the ancient name for spirits "water of life" according to Edinburgh University. It comes from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic "uisge beatha" or "usquebaugh" which to English ears sounded like "uishgi" and henceforth became whisky.

Nos, ha valaki nem tudna: a whisky - az edinburgh-i egyetem szerint - az alkohol egy osregi, az "elet vize", elnevezesenek angol eltorzulasa. A skot es ir kelta/gaelic nyelv "uisge beatha" vagy "usquebaugh" elnevezesbol ered, amely angol fulnek inkabb ugy hangzott "uishgi" es lett ezaltal whisky.
