Whisky & Whiskey

The Irish & Tennesseans make Whiskey. The Scotch and Canadians make Whisky. I did not know there were two distinct spellings, until last week. I knew there were different styles, but didn't know the spelling mattered.

    perhaps not... the person who wrote the article seems to have trouble keeping it straight too:
    "..., hence the uniquely fine drink that is Irish whisky. Scotch whisky uses uninterrupted process stills."

    At least they waited until the 2nd paragraph to muck it up. :)

    apparently spelling doesn't matter.

    2nd paragraph: "hence the uniquely fine drink that is Irish whisky. Scotch whisky uses uninterrupted process stills."

    :)
