WEBSTER'S:

"In general, U.S. and Irish usage favors whiskey, and British and Canadian usage favors whisky."

Therefore, we are both correct. Isn't that a a very fine model of Scotch-Irish understanding!

So, I hope that this is Scotch-Irish enough, but I better mention Scotch or I might still be off-topic. I prefer a fine Irish Whiskey to even a fine Scotch Whiskey, even though both are divine, but, for the holidays, I make sure I have both behind my bar. This is truly one of the joys of being Scotch-Irish.
