Water of Life

Usquaebach (Oos: Ke: Bah) translates as “Water of Life” in Scottish Gaelic and is the origin of the modern-day word “whisky.”

The Usquaebach ‘Old-Rare’ recipe dates back to the 1700s, and its flagon is a vestige of scotch history. The brand was established in 1877, and today Usquaebach is crafted by a distinguished family-owned house specializing in the celebrated art of whisky blending.

Dedicated to tradition, quality & craft, Usquaebach’s renowned Master Blender selects the finest single malts and aged grain whiskies from the most reputable distillers in the Scottish Highlands. With his collection of hand-selected single malt casks, the Master Blender creates four unique scotch expressions offering a range of flavors, all with balance and complexity.
