Glad to have you and this topic back.
The Scot in me feels obliged to point out that Scotland produces 'whisky'; not 'whiskey'.
This is not mere pedantry or a case of a simple spelling disparity betweeh British and American English..
The Scots (and the Japanese) consider whisky and whiskey to be two different drinks. They are made from different ingredients in a different manner. The Irish aren't sure!
