Foam lance and snow foam

[John Laidlaw]

Quite, they did not invent distillation (nor did the Scots) and there is a lot of discussion on where whiskey / whisky originated but the earliest mention of distilled alcohol in Ireland is 1405 and in Scotland circa 1498.

Distillation was invented by Charles Bronson I believe in the Great Escape utilising potatoes
And.....1494 is the Scots year if we’re being pedantic
