How Whisky Changed the World

from History Unpacked

From the misty glens of medieval Scotland to the distilleries of Kentucky and Japan, whisky’s history is as rich and complex as its flavor. In this episode of History Unpacked, we trace the spirit’s origins through alchemy, religion, rebellion, and empire. Discover how monks, smugglers, and merchants turned a humble grain spirit into a global icon. Whether you call it whisky or whiskey, this is the story of fire, craftsmanship, and time — the history of the world’s most celebrated drink.
