Uisce beatha Uisce beatha (] ) is the name for whiskey in Irish. The equivalent in Scottish Gaelic is rendered "uisge-beatha". The word "whisky" (as spelt in Scotland) or "whiskey" (as spelt in Ireland) itself is simply an anglicised version of this phrase, stemming from a mispronunciation of the word "uisce" in Ireland or "uisge" in Scotland. This development may in turn have influenced the Modern Irish word "fuisce" ("whiskey"). The phrase "uisce beatha", literally "water of life", was the name given by Irish monks of the early Middle Ages to distilled alcohol. It is simply a translation of the Latin "aqua vitae".
