there is a lot of whiskey talk going on here and a little whisky talk as well, but it seems that none of you know the difference, which is huge, look it up.

ps current favourite is Monkey Shoulder, have tried the old poultenay, usually bottled in a still shaped bottle, had one sent to me by a Jock pal from years ago (thanks Pat) it was superb but cant buy it locally.

general_piffle: I rode a 1984/86 model of that 1100 GRX1100 Katana for one summer and sold it in the fall. WAY TOO FAST for ME ;o)
NOT that I could not handle it but when I see the speedo doing 140 mph at cruise you know your NOT going to survive for long.

That Japanese moped SHUT DOWN Breganzie and the Laverda 3CL - I need a shot of Scotch ;o)

I HATE Canadian Club just as much as American Jack Daniels.

However there just might be a descent Bourbon out there - Somewhere.

I concur on Jack Daniel’s, dreadful stuff, Yankee syrup. Here’s my home market 1100 I imported it new from Japan just over 30 years ago. It’ll go in the grave with me.

Helped my neice move house yesterday - clearing out the kitchen and sampled 4 Scotches (necking each bottle like a drunky!!). Absolutely the best of the lot a japanese one she bought over there for much yen. Superb.
 
EncinoBoy _ You have to have a strong argument to convince a Leprechaun that a Bourbon can out do a mediocre Scotch ?

Looking forward for it as I did like some Bourbons ;o)

To make a long explanation short,
whiskey (with an 'e') refers to grain spirits distilled in Ireland and the United States.
Whisky (with no 'e') refers to Scottish, Canadian, or Japanese grain spirits

To add to this…

The difference carries over into plurals. It’s ’whiskeys’ for Irish and US producers, and ‘whiskies’ for Scottish, Canadian and Japanese producers.

George Dickel Tennessee Whisky does not have an "e" , how does that work Clem?
It is also my preferred Bourbon Whisky, ultra smooth drink, having one right now actually

Visited their distillery in Tennessee at Cascade Hollow, highlight of my life

The exception that proves the rule! Yes, this is non-standard spelling of whiskey in the US. Apparently, because Mr Dickel believed his spirit to be as smooth and high quality as some of the best Scotch whiskies. Hence the spelling anomaly being deliberate.
