www.thewhiskyexchange.com This is good web site to have in your back pocket.
I'm not sure if you are into Rye. This is a very good one. Not expensive. Won whiskey of the year. That's unheard of for Canadian Whiskey.

Re: WHISK(e)Y!
I got lucky coming out of Caymans airport. Picked up duty free a couple of bottles of Johnny Walker Blue $157.50 ea. That was a good bargain. I don't know I would pay regular price. It is but hard to justify at full pop. It is the good.

All Bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is Bourbon. I'm a Bourbon fan.

Re: WHISK(e)Y!
From the diccionary:
whiskey | ˈ(h)wiskē |
noun (plural whiskeys)
1 (also whisky) a spirit distilled from malted grain, especially barley or rye.
2 a code word representing the letter W, used in radio communication.
USAGE
Is it whiskey or whisky? Note that the British and Canadian spelling is without the e, so that properly one would write of Scotch whisky and Canadian whisky, but Kentucky bourbon whiskey and Irish whiskey.
ORIGIN
early 18th century: abbreviation of obsolete whiskybae, variant of usquebaugh.Vivid Audio - Burmester - Hegel - Marantz - Oppo - Pioneer 60" - Wireworld

Both American. I am sure there is also American Champagne.
But, I must apologize: I indeed mixed them up, i.e. ‘Whisky’ is Scottish spelling and ‘Whiskey’ Irish, American, Canadian, Japanese etc.
While Whisky is protected nowadays, there might be producers who already made Whisky/ Whiskey before the rule was signed into an actual law.

No, they are actually not.
There might be American Whisky, as you pointed out. But it actually is not Whisky, it’s Whiskey. Someone using the naming convention wrong, does not change the fact they are using it wrong.
Understood?
That said, this is a Scottish interpretation. And while the Scots stick strictly to their ‘Whisky’ spelling for Whisky from Scotland and preferably Single Malt, others are less strict about it and as such in other countries both spellings are used. A number of people think Single Malt is the only proper way to make Whisky. Go figure, and others see it differently.

Re: WHISK(e)Y!
There ar actually 2 or 3 American Wineries that can call their sparkling wine "Champagne". Renault in New Jersey is one, and I drove there last week to get a case of their Blueberry Champagne from the grapes on the property and Hamonton Blueberries.
My wife got me 2 wonderful bottles by a local distillery Hewn Spirits. I got a Single Malt and a Rye. Yummy and flavorful.-----------------

Re: WHISK(e)Y!
It seems that the Scottish distilleries can't follow demand anymore.
We used to have Macallan 12 years, or 18 years, now we have 'Rare Cask', of Talisker 'Skye', etc.

Re: WHISK(e)Y!
Some smaller local distilleries are putting out very good product and in my opinion, much better tasting goods than many long time well known brands. Local to me is Hewn Spirits and I am currently working my way, quickly, thru a bottle of the Red Barn Rye and the Reclamation Single Malt. Loving every sip.
