Whiskey is a shortened form of usquebaugh, which English borrowed from Gaelic. Between 1100 and 1300, distillation spread from Ireland to Scotland,[7] with monastic distilleries existing in Ireland in the 12th century. Since the islands had few grapes with which to make wine, barley beer was used instead, resulting in the development of whisky.[6] In 1494, as noted above, Scotland's Exchequer granted the malt to Friar John Cor; this was enough malt to make about 1500 bottles, so the business was apparently thriving by that time.
