Let’s talk Irish Whiskey!  The first thing to know about Irish Whisky is that it is spelled with the “e”, as is generally done for American whiskeys.  One way to remember which have the “e” and which don’t is: 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) We talk Irish Whiskey this week with Teeling Irish Whiskey.
