Backstory:

Whiskey is the love-seed of Jeremiah and Samantha Barleycorn, a family who lived in Manehattan. Their work specializes on alcoholic beverages. They own a small yet well known tavern at the outskirts of Whitetail wood called "The Wooden Mug". This is because of the bountiful harvest of tree saps which is used as the secret Ingredient of their signature drink: "The Horsepower". Born in a humble family, Whiskey was always taught of the value of hard-work. He grew up with this virtue and left his family at a very young age in order to bring in fortune to the Barleycorn family.

 

His skills and talents were molded during his travels. But he never did get to master those skills that he acquired. He only learns what he wants to learn. Most of which are This is because of the virtue that his father had inculcated in him: "All you need is practicality and common sense to survive in this word, 'Mboy. You don't need no fancy mathematics or over-the-top logical watcchamacallsit. Learn the thing that you want to learn and use them. Then you'll be on your way to finding your fortune!"

 

 

Other:

He is an everpony's guy. He's the pony that stands in the crowd mostly--ALWAYS unnoticed. your typical alcohol loving pony who always stands in line waiting for his turn to get his cider. The pony you commonly see inside old worn out pubs or dilapidated taverns. Suffice to say, he's just a regular pony. But within this ordinary folk's mind is not like that of any other. He questions common tradition but keeps it all to himself. He believes that it is none of his business and that most traditions that ponies follow are very personal. A Jack of all trades but a master of none. He considers himself as the only pony who could rival Berry Punch. Quite and self contemplative, he travels Equestria and beyond in search for that fortune. But he currently resides in Ponyville in a vain and doomed attempt of getting Berry Punch to be his girl. He owns a tavern at Ponyville where most Royal Guards of Canterlot go for some R&R. One of his most valued costumer is the most trusted of the Regal Sisters: Aquilinus

Tl;dr:

Alcoholic Pony. Lol.

REVISED:

 

Whiskey is born in a noble family who lived in Manehattan. They owned a brewery and a very well known Bar at whitetail woods. Despite the fact that alcohol wasn't really in with Equestria's market, they were able to make themselves known. This is why Whiskey's parents didn't have time for rest or fun. They were busy people trying to find "fortune". Unfortunately, however, they never did get to find it. Things turned out for the worse.

There were cast down to the lowest of the low of society. Having to fight for scraps of food in the slums of Manehattan. Whiskey's father had to work at the coal mines by day and at the streets of Manehattan by evening. His mom spent almost the entire day at the tailoring factory. Whiskey's mom was never used to such kind of work because of her very fragile body and very weak system. This had caused her death. Before her death she gave a compass to Whiskey and told him to use it when the time came. Whiskey never did get to understand what it meant. But he kept it for her nonetheless. This event never did leave the memory of his father.

After many years of struggling to get back up their hooves, they were able to make a name for themselves again. But his father was weak to carry on the family business. Still heartbroken and weak, his father died. but before he could left, he gave Whiskey a journal and had told him to experience the things that he was not able to experience when he was still a foal.

After months of contemplation he finally figured out the reason on why his parents were so busy. He finally figured out the reason what the compass and the journal was for. He Immediately sold everything they owned and used the money to travel the world. He still continues he family business through his travels. Bringing to the world their signature drink one town at a time.
