Whisky Or Whiskey?

Ever since I started this blog, I've received feedback that I've misspelled whisky (or is it whiskey?). Well, i found this on the web and I don't think there is a better way of putting it.

Whisky Or Whiskey?

A Scotsman who spells

Whisky with a n ‘e’,

should be hand cuffed

and thrown head first in the Dee.

In the USA and Ireland,

it’s spelt with an ‘e’

but in Scotland

it’s real ‘Whisky’.

So if you see Whisky

and it has an ‘e’,

only take it,

if you get it for free!

For the name is not the same

and it never will be,

a dram is only a real dram,

from a bottle of ‘Scotch Whisky’.
