I quite agree, the American stuff is just not the same.

Got absolutely hammered on whisky at the age of 16 and now cannot stand the smell.

About 20 years ago rented a holiday house in the Cairgorms at New Year. The owner invited me in for a 'new year drink'. His accent was very broad and he seemed the ultimate Scotsman. 'What'll ye have' I was asked. Thought 'there is no way I can ask for anything than whisky with the way he seems as he is bound to be a whisky man' so asked for that. He had a gin and tonic!

My father used to own the Smoo Cave Hotel in Durness, Scotland. Whisky sales were higher by volume than beer. :cheers:

I think the US spell checkers are having too much influence around here:

Whisky: Scottish spirit.
Whiskey: American Spirit also known as Bourbon.

Don't let your spell checkers auto correct it!

As I understand it, that is the spelling for irish whiskey as well.

Ah yes, forgot the Irish. They do some nice ones as well, though none I've checked are as good as the Scottish ones.
