It's so great that you posted that. Lori and I just did a tour of Bushmills where they had a little video about uisce beatha which became Whiskey because the invaders (normans I think, but potentially romans, though damn, they are hundreds of years apart) couldn't pronounce uisce beatha. (and neither can I, but it does sound like Whiskey).
