'''''Whisky Galore''''' is a [[novel]] written by [[Compton Mackenzie]], published in 1947. It was adapted for the cinema under the title ''[[Whisky Galore! (1949 film)|Whisky Galore!]]''.
 
The novel's title influenced the name of the first French discothèque, opened later in the same year of the book;'s publication, by Paul Pancine, the Whisky à gogo, ('Gogo' meaning 'In abundance', or, 'Galore'; ehich, in its own turn, was influential, eleven years later, in 1958, in the naming of the [[Whisky a Go Go]].
 
'[[Gogo]]' dancing, (implying energetic livliness), and its subsequent incarnations under different names, all stem from 'Whisky Galore!' 's popularising of the word 'Galore'.
