[Seattle Weekly]. The difference between whiskey and whisky is simple but important: whisky usually denotes Scotch whisky and Scotch-inspired liquors, and whiskey denotes the Irish and American liquors.
Pretty much every whiskey on the market-from Crown Royal to Glenfiddich Scotch-is zero carbs. Scotch is a specific type of whiskey-i.e. whiskey that comes from Scotland. Bourbon is another kind of whisky-i.e. whisky that comes from Kentucky. In general, whiskies from Scotland and Canada are spelled whisky while others are spelled whiskey. Whiskies from Scotland are called Scotch. Bourbon is a little trickier. There is a Bourbon country in Kentucky and most whiskeys from Kentucky are called bourbon after this region. However, a tiny amount of whiskeys made elsewhere in the US call themselves bourbon because they feel they offer the same style.
