Scotch Whisky | The Other Worlds Of Whiskies 4 Nations Whisky Challenge Results Table Okay, so maybe we exaggerated a little in saying that national pride was on the line in our last international whisky tasting on January 29, 2002. The choices were limited and the time was short. But that has never stopped the Olympics from making a big deal out of what they present. We will say this for our judges though, they genuinely like what they do and appreciate a fine performer no matter where it hails from. It may still come as a surprise to single malt drinkers that the two Irish whiskies both finished on the podium. A rye whisky from western Canada,Tangle Ridge, finished tied for first while the east coast Scottish emulator Glen Breton Single Malt was deemed to be not quite ready for competition finishing a distant last.

An Introduction To Single Malts Uisge beatha or usquebaugh are two different spellings of the old Gaelic term for "water of life." This, to English speaking people, sounded like "uishgi" and over time was corrupted to "whisky."
