Depends, really.

Whisky is from Scotland.
Whiskey is from Ireland.
Bourbon is, afaik, a similar drink but from the states.

At least that's what my cousin who works at Laphroaig says.

He is right. And since we are talking about Bourbon, it cannot be any Whisky

Btw, Regards to Laphroaig and their workers. My second favorite Distillery, and I own a Squarefoot of land overthere.

I might be wrong here. I'll admit it's on a limp at least.

If I remember right, Bourbon is a similar drink to whisky, but made off corn instead of grain.

Never had Bourbon afaik though. Whisky's another story.

Yep, barley. Once a distiller told me there is another difference. Usually Bourbon goes to the stock in brand new barrels, while scotch is filled into used barrels. However, obviously the major difference is this one: Scotch has to be from Scotland, and must stay in the stock for 3 ys and 1 day - in Scotland!

And yes, I LOVE Guinness and Irish Whiskey or much better: Scotch. There is a nice collection available here, so I can enjoy the one I like most at that time.

Oh, this 18 ys old Laphroaig Single Malt...this was a fantastic piece of whisky art. Too bad, the distillery stopped producing it...

I googled 'Whisky' and found a page explaining how sometimes it's used regionally (like color and colour, recognize and recognise) - there's difference between UK and US English.

Some rare US brands use Whisky too, but in the states, it's appearantly more common to go with Whiskey for domestic brands and Whisky for foreign.

I'm more of a beer guy myself. Guinness is nice when you need a meal, if not I'll go with mostly any pilsener-type beer called Classic. Tuborg Classic being the preferred Danish brand.

I used to have an Irish pub less than 400 metres from home when I lived in Esbjerg, so that was good for the Guinness business in Denmark those years.
