[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.
Whisky is a one of the most popular varieties of distilled alcoholic beverages, made from the fermented grain mash. The type of preferred grain varies from region to region, spanning from barley (extremely popular in Scotland), malted barley, rye, wheat and corn (which is main ingredient of the American Bourbon).ne exception is made for Indian whisky, which is traditionally made not from fermented grain but from fermented molasses. The existence of whisky can be traced to the ancient times, almost to 2 million BC kingdoms of ancient Babylon and Mesopotamia.
