According to Members Signatures

Spelling depends on the spirit's country of origin; American-produced varieties such as bourbon, rye, Tennessee, as well as the Irish spirit, utilize the "whiskey" spelling, whereas the spirit from Scotland, Canada, and Japan utilize the "whisky" spelling.

But not even Webster recognized "Wiskey"
 
Back when I got hurt in 1993 Labor and Industries sent me to some sort of a head shrink. After about 3 hours of all sorts of tests he said he was impressed how quickly I solves some problems. But he said I spelled at a 7th grade level. Said that wasn't a problem because they have spell check. At that point I had never sat at a computer. What the heck is spell check? Since then I have stumped spell check on a regular basis. I often have to change my wording because neither spell check or I know the correct spell for the word I want to use.
I owe it all to my Harvard education. But I graduated from Harvard the end of 6th grade. So my spelling education came to a halt.
 
Strike that idea. Although my account offers deletion, it won't allow me to do it. I will just keep this poor choice of user name account and be happy about it.
 
You have given this username character. And most, if not all, have been enjoying this character.

It has been educational. It took a team effort to uncover the first/correct spelling of "Whisky" and its Scottish roots..
And in an effort to expand my knowledge, I was reminded that "Novia Scotia" is Latin for "New Scotland."
And to understand where and how it became "Whiskey" in the United States..
