The Irish phrase Barr an Uisce (pronounced Bar on Ishka) translates to English as "above the water."
It is also the Irish name given to Barraniskey, a town set in the heart of the beautiful County Wicklow on the East Coast of Ireland.
Uisce, or "water" in English, was used during the time Irish monks first distilled what we now know as whiskey. The monks called their output Uisce Beatha, meaning "water of life."
