Good grief! Next Irish whisky will have to be made in Ireland if this keeps up.

Can we drink it all night long, and die behind the wheel?

I think I will seek patents and trademarks for dihydrogen monoxide and other commonly used names. I’ll be filthy rich.

“Whisky” is the Scottish spelling.
“Whiskey” is the US spelling.
Could the US produce a similar product by calling it “Whiskey”?
Probably not...

What? That wine I got from the big auto parts store may not be from Napa Valley? It said NAPA right on the bottle.

“Scotch sales in the United States were around $1 billion in 2021”

What, are they only counting me in that tally?

Those backwoods stills in Kentucky, West Virginia, must be exercising their pots!

If it’s from Ireland, it’s whiskey with an ‘e’, as it is from the US. I have no idea why Scotch is whisky without an ‘e’. Maybe some copyright claims?

I have a great difficulty understanding the obsession (maybe it is snob-session) with Scotch. I have found a number of USA whiskies that are less money than the mid-range Scotches that I greatly prefer.
We are all aware that preferences vary; “what I grew up drinking”; “what my pops drank”; etc.
Cheers!

Does this help or hurt the Kennedy family?
