Uisce beatha Uisce beatha (] ) is the name for whiskey in Irish. The equivalent in Scottish Gaelic is rendered "uisge-beatha". The word "whisky" (as spelt in Scotland) or "whiskey" (as spelt in Ireland) itself is simply an anglicised version of this phrase, stemming from a mispronunciation of the word "uisce" in Ireland or "uisge" in Scotland. This development may in turn have influenced the Modern Irish word "fuisce" ("whiskey"). The phrase "uisce beatha", literally "water of life", was the name given by Irish monks of the early Middle Ages to distilled alcohol. It is simply a translation of the Latin "aqua vitae".

It is actually the initial cloudy juice of the olive drupes soon after crushing, separation and decanting and before final filtration. Normally this oil is either filtered, or stored in tanks to settle for a period of weeks or months to allow sediments to be separated from the oil (a procedure known as "racking").

Edward Palmer used the name E. P. Veeraswamy for his food business and the book; Veeraswamy was his grandmother's family name.

Bottled in bond Bottled in bond is a label for an American-made distilled beverage that has been aged and bottled according to a set of legal regulations contained in the United States government's Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits, as originally laid out in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. A reaction to widespread adulteration in American whiskey, the act made the federal government the guarantor of a spirit's authenticity, gave producers a tax incentive for participating, and helped ensure proper accounting and the eventual collection of the tax that was due. While the regulations apply to all spirits, in practice, most bonded spirits are whiskeys.
