Have you considered also linking to A602939 Scotch Whisky, or A526196 Bourbon? (there is an entry on Jack Daniels, but it is not as general as the other two)
The first gives a decent amount of scottish whisky history and ends with short sections on whiskies from elsewhere in the world, suggesting that 'whisky' is the appropriate spelling to describe bourbon, while 'whiskey' is generally used for N American rye whiskey.

(incidentally when is the entry planned to be re-edited in line with this thread's suggestions?)

When I get around to it
I have already linked to the entry on bourbon haven't I? I thought I had... yes, I have When I was searching h2g2 for relevant entries to link to I hadn't yet written the part about the Rob Roy, so the Scotch whisky link can be included now

hadn't checked for existence of the bourbon link in the manhattan entry after searching for whisky/whiskey entries - I had been looking for confirmation that whiskey was correct spelling throughout.

And I think you'll find that it was
The entry is updated now - all suggestions taken care of I think, the section on vermouth re-written, and a few extra cosmetic improvements made

actually ... I think you may wish to remove the link to the 'How to Make the Prefect(sic) Manhattan' - it isn't an EG entry, and I don't think we should be encouraging minors still at school to drink

I only left that there so that readers can see that I got the inspiration for the entry from somewhere else - one should always give the original entry a plug if one gets the idea from something in the Flea Market. The Sub-ed will remove it if and when this entry is picked

Thanks Sam, everyone, and especially whoever recommended it I think I'll lay off the alcohol-related entries for a while - my liver can't take too much of that kind of research
