Whisky 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 vs Whiskey 🇺🇸


Single malt Scotch #whisky is spelled without an ‘e,’ must be produced in Scotland, and is based entirely on malted barley.

Other countries use the whisky spelling, too. Japan, India, and Australia are most notable. Traditionally, producers in Ireland and the United States use the “whiskey” spelling, but that’s confusingly not universal. Maker’s Mark omits the “e” on their labels, as does George Dickel, in Tennessee. Uncle Nearest is also made in Tennessee but utilizes the “#whiskey” spelling. In general, however, “whiskey” is far more common in the United States across all categories and subcategories of the spirit.
