    The Scots don't produce "Scotch Whiskey" - is that definitive enough?

    They are. Or at least the Scots are. Seems like the Irish care enough not to even mention it.

    Scotch Whisky FAQs

    Which spelling is correct - whisky or whiskey?

    Production and maturations of whisk(e)y is governed by law, not the word.
    Cretin.

    Perhaps this will provide a clue.

    The answer is simple, if you know nothing about a topic then don't post. Otherwise your ignorance is there for all to see.

    Careful you don’t slip over, with that thin skin you’ve got. You might get a scratch.

    Can confirm Nikka, it sits as whisky alongside a Balvenie and Glendronach on my shelf.

    Unlike the Red Spot and 15-yo Temple Bar (2018 best Irish Single Malt) whiskey that sits next to them.

    I prefer to care about what’s in the bottle though, than the spelling outside of it. ;-)

    Are you going to compound your mistake further by suggesting that they are the same thing?

    Well, Scotland and Ireland aren't doing too well at the moment, even Germany and Denmark won an award:
