As it is scotch the AP should spell it right - ‘whisky’, no ‘e’. We invented it and the rest of the world spells it wrong.

I thought it was "usquebaugh", actually (no 'y'). So I guess it's been misspelled all around for some time.

Sorry to be hurtin’ your feelings but it was the Irish who first brought Wiskey to the isles. The very word is from Old Irish.
