What does Whiskey mean?
/ˈwɪski/2 syllables

Whiskey is the English word for the distilled spirit made from fermented grain mash, an anglicized shortening of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic uisce beatha, meaning "water of life."

Whiskey has a warm, rough-edged charm — a name that suits a pet with amber or golden coloring, or simply an owner who likes a name with a bit of grit to it.
