What is the difference between Whiskey and Whisky?
This is an old-age debate you should be aware of.

In general, whiskeys or whisky are varieties of distilled liquors that are produced from a fermented mash of cereal grain and stored in old oak barrels. Some of these cereal grains are grains of rye, wheat, corn, and barley malt.

Hence, the name — whiskey (or whisky) is derived from the type of cereal grain used during the distilling process and the production location.

Now, whiskey (with an “e”) is any variety of distilled liquors produced in America and Ireland. Whisky (without the “e”) is one of these distilled liquors that hails from several other countries like Canada or Japan.
