The difference between types of whiskies like bourbon, rye or scotch is a bit more complex.Īlong with country of origin, the type of whiskey or whisky is also determined by the grain used in the distillation process. Most whiskey distillers use the plural form whiskeys to hint that they are referring to whiskey whereas whisky is usually pluralized as whiskies. Whiskey from Ireland and the United States is usually spelled with an “e.” Whisky from Scotland, Canada, Japan and elsewhere is spelled without an “e.” So regional grammar is why you’ll see Scotch whisky but Irish whiskey on the shelves.

One determinant between whiskey and whisky is where it's produced. Whiskey, also known as whisky, is as much a broad categorization of spirits as it is a spirit type. Roasted chestnut, thick caramel, slightly floral at points, orange oil.įresh vanilla, dark chocolate, toasted coconut, ginger, mature oak. With maturation taking place in a combination of European sherry seasoned casks, American sherry seasoned casks and American ex-bourbon casks, this expression boasts bountiful notes of vanilla, dried fruit and woody spice. This 18 year old Macallan single malt sits at the peak of the Triple Cask range (which replaced the Fine Oak range in mid-2018).
