As a side issue, why do Americans always spell whiskey the Irish way and not the Scottish way? :unsure:

As far as I know...a Scottish whisky, is usually a single malt, spelt as whisky.....anything else, which is a blend of some sort, is spelt whiskEy......I could very well be wrong, but, that's what I've been told, the Scotland single malts are spelt whisky, anything else, which is a blend of some sort or another, is spelt whiskey....

 

 

EDIT:.....dunno if this will clear up any confusion, or add to it.... http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/whiskey...-spirits-100476

Nah, everything is whisky over here. Whether single malts or blended.

 

I like this definition from your article Biggie

 

 

Countries that have E’s in their names (UnitEd StatEs and IrEland) tend to spell it whiskEy (plural whiskeys)

Countries without E’s in their names (Canada, Scotland, and Japan) spell it whisky (plural whiskies)

That's it. You'll never be allowed in Scotland!

 

I'm exhausted. In an Eminem stylie I've been cleaning out my closet. Well, my drawers to be exact. -_-

 

I've got 37 pairs of pyjamas. I counted. :cry:

:lol: why on earth do you need 37 pairs of jim jams?

 

Do you remember when we had a count of how many t shirts we each owned, I think I won that one, only just :P

I don't need them. That's the problem. They are obviously breeding in there and clogging up my drawers :(

I had to have a mass clearout of stuff the other day, my house is too small :(

 

 

I know. I'm convinced my house is shrinking too :o

 

 

Pity I'm not.....

Yeah but I think that's heightwise, not hipwise.... :cry:

 

It means we'll look even dumpier as we get older.
