While we're being Pedantic "Uisce" is the Irish Gaelic for Water.
"Uisce Beatha" is Irish Gaelic for Water of life. ( pronounced Ishka baha )
While there is no argument from the Scots as they have their own Gaelic language ( and plenty other things to argue about) which is similar ( Usige Beatha ) but pronounced "Ishiky-ba", at least that's been my experience but at the time I may well have had too much, resulting in a few more Prime Scottish words eg:
Ooot ma Tree, Ooot the game, Mad wae it, Steamboated, pusshd, heevin etc..
Thinking I might have a dram or two tonight….slim pickings, with alcohol restrictions up here I’m glad there are online options
We have discovered Japanese whisky , Suntory Kakubin is great drinking and relatively cheap, Nikka Taketsuru is fantastic but a tad expensive and hard to get in Australia
Discovery 1 4.6, true trac front and rear, superior engineering arms,old tourer now bush toy
Discovery 4 3.0 HSE MY13 ECB Bull bar, winch, spot lights, aux fuel tank, Kaymar rear bar, duel wheel carriers, 18 tuff ant wheels 265/65/18 BFG KO2's for play
To the immense chagrin of the Scots, Japanese single malts are regarded as the best in the world. I'm not sure how that is judged. AFAIK Japan has no peat, so the Islay malts couldn't be reproduced ( wrong word ), nor could the Highlands. So I guess it's the Speysides they are compared with.
In any case, they'd need to bloody great to equal a 25yo The Macallan. Or Talisker. Since I quit drinking I do not miss alcohol, but nothing replaces the gorgeous warmth of a great whisky.
