"I completely understand. Once in a while I'll see that the "e" is missing in a non Scotch Whisky, and it bugs me to no end! "
I'm not sure I understand which you are refering to.
Are you talking about Irish and American whiskeys that are mispelled by the drop of the "e"?...
Non Scotch Whisky from countries that traditionally do not include the "e"... Canada, Japan, New Zealand, etc...
Or, Irish and American whiskys correctly excluding the "e" contrary to a national tradition to include it... Maker's Mark, Dickel, Peregrine Rock (American), or O'Donnels', and Cork Distilleries (Irish)?
