Do you know the difference between whiskey and whisky? Most do not, so let me tell you! 

It actually goes a bit deep however, we do not have time for that so this is a super generalized explanation.

Whisky comes from Scotland, whereas Whiskey is from the USA and Ireland. 

The key differences  between them, is that whiskey is only distilled three times making it lighter on your palate, while Whisky is distilled two times giving it a stronger aftertaste. Yet, there are other factors such as location, grains, barrels, matling, aging, etc.  Japanese whisky forgoes the E as they learned how to make it from the Scots. Though as I previously mentioned, there is way more too it than that.
