I remember being told once that it is only real (Irish or Scottish?) whisk(e)y if spelt with an 'e'. Anyone else heard this and is it true?

It'll do nicely :)

Fitzer

Also American and Canadian Whiskey

Scotch is whisky, all others are whiskey

Whiskey with an "e" for "Eire" is Irish whiskey.

Easy, innit? :-)

And of course there's Welsh whisky, aka Southern Comfort...................................
