History, a good friend of Scotch whisky.

Scotch whisky goes as back as the 14^th century. There’s data that references scotch in this time. It references that the King James IV bought barley to produce acquavitae, one of the most basic forms of alcoholic drinks. So, it’s presumed it has been made since the 14^th century. The whisky was first taxed by the ScottishParliament in 1644. Ever since, there has been a lot of changes in the way whisky is produced in Scotland. Also, it was strongly regulated in the past.

There has been some controversy with the word “whisky”, as other countries use “whiskey” or other variations. So, were talking about a really classic alcoholic drink.

Its values of alcohol often reach a max of 46%, but there are variations that reach much more. These are labeled with the words “cask strength”, which is the alcohol content of whisky straight out of the cask.
