The term 'whiskey in the jar' comes from a famous traditional Irish song that is set in the southern mountains of Ireland. The expression itself means the water of life. Giving reference to the idea of death and life. In order to completely understand this reference it is recommended that the whole song be looked at in order to gain a clearer understanding of the concepts and themes it represents, as individual interpretation may vary.
