Whiskey means water of life in gaelic. Whiskey is aged in wood barrels. The wood barrels give whiskey its color. The longer whiskey is aged the darker it becomes. As the whiskey matures, some of the alcohol evaporates. This is known as the angels' share. Unaged American whiskey is often called "white dog." Whiskey and chocolate are an amazing combination. Of course that's just our opinion, but we're not wrong. Cheers!
