During the scientific renaissance doctors need bodies to perform surgery on in order to learn more about the human body. The best source of these bodies were from graveyards and cemeteries. Thus emerged the underground body trade. Doctors would sometimes dig up there own but would most often do business with grave diggers. The grave diggers would go to their place of employment and dig up bodies. In order to not get caught during the transport they would store the bodies in large barrels full of whiskey. After delivering the body they would in turn bottle the whiskey and sell it to college students for some extra cash. Hence the tern Gut Rot Whiskey.
