Hi Paul,

Uisce beatha is Gaelic/Irish and it means "Water of life".

water of life / whiskey

Both Gerolamo and Zwanenberg are right.
The meaning is "water of life" and the pronunciation was transformed into whiskey by the English, which is what the term is used for most frequently.

I love Irish whiskey! Have you ever tried Powers, or Jameson, which is available in most stores. Truly invigorating.
