Whiskey is by far the most popular hard liquor in Kiravia, and is both a cherished cultural institution and essential fixture of daily life for tens of millions of Kiravians. Consumed throughout the Federacy (but especially popular in the Highlands, regions with large Celtic populations, and the North Coast), whiskey is an extremely popular recreational beverage, and is also used medicinally to treat digestive issues and chronic pain. It features in many Kiravian cultural rituals, such as as a libation shared by the bride- and groom-to-be in betrothal ceremonies and as an offering (often burnt) at the graves of one's ancestors. There is a long history of whiskey being used as a medium of exchange in Kiravia that continues to the present day. | Whiskey is by far the most popular hard liquor in Kiravia, and is both a cherished cultural institution and essential fixture of daily life for tens of millions of Kiravians.
