And, to answer your question about spelling: The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey, with an extra 'e'. This difference in the spelling comes from the translations of the word from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms. Whiskey with the extra 'e' is also used when referring to American whiskies. But really common parlance has it as interchangeable.

If you're using Scotch whisky, why is it listed as "whiskey" in the ingredients?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Libby, I changed that... But I've done a bit more research, and it seems like they use both spellings..So it's not Irish vs. Scottish. As you see from the advertisement.
