Ahem! It's all in the spelling, Whisky being Scottish and Whiskey being from anywhere else. A Scottish Malt Whisky is completely different in taste and texture as well to things like Bushmills, Black Bush, Paddy or sour mash whiskey/bourbon whiskey. And if you look at Mamora Man's original posting he only mentions the Scottish ones and also only uses the Scottish spelling, without an E. So there you go.
