I think, although I'm not certain, that Irish and American are the only varieties spelled "Whiskey", and everyone else, Scotch, Canadian, et al are all spelled without the 'e'.

I'm very very nearly positive that Canadians don't use the 'e'. The rest I'm unsure of. I'll go find some liquor reference to ascertain my wild claims and come back, unless you find one first.

I'll look into it Spartus I have a lot of reading up on this. I want to make the entry definative.

Whisky is of course only the phonetic spelling as the English speakers hear it of the Ghàidhlig word "uisge" meaning water and is a truncation of "uisge beatha" the water of life.
