[Burnt Rice]

The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey, with an extra 'e'. This difference in the spelling comes from the translations of the word from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms.

Had to Google the proper spelling of whisky. Seems like it doesn't really matter how you spell it, and it's not just one country in particular spelling it wrong. Even auto correct is ok with both spellings.
Whiskey and whisky.
