It is known that the art of distillation was brought to Ireland by Irish missionaries from the Mediterranean regions between 500 – 600 A.D. Distilling, like most of the early sciences, came from the East. Its first European practice was in Spain, introduced by the Moors in the Middle Ages. Perfumes and aromatics were being distilled long before potable spirits. The much-travelled Irish monks brought the secrets of “Uisce Beatha” back to Ireland where distilling of alcohol began. The earliest recorded mention of whiskey anywhere in the WORLD comes from the Annals of Clonmacnoise in 1405 A.D describing the death of Richard Magranell, Chieftain of Moyntyreolas at Christmas from ‘taking a surfeit of Aqua Vitae’.
