| ^ "Whiskey and whisky aren't really different things except in the sense that certain types of whiskey by convention use different spellings." that's exactly what "different" means. whisky is scotch - produced in scotland. whiskey can be irish whiskey, bourbon, rye, etc. the only one of these drinks that doesn't call for a specific kind of whisk(e)y is a boilermaker - and technically, a boilermaker is just beer with a shot of any liquor, not just whisk(e)y. |
