While the exact origins are lost in the mists of time, it is generally accepted that the ancient Celts (and yes, that would include the Scots, Irish, Cornish and Welsh) knew how to distill grains at least as far back as 800 BC. http://www.drinkfocus.com/whiskey/index.php May 06 06, 6:45 AM

Incidentally...American and Irish whiskey uses this spelling while Scottish and Canadian whiskies retain the older form, "whisky." May 06 06, 6:47 AM
