Fun fact about whiskey, whisky, and bourbon
Before I continue with these international whiskey gifts, I just want to share a few fun facts about whiskey.
Feel free to skip this part if you are not into random facts (I won’t notice anyway).
Did you know that you can guess where whiskey is from, by just looking at the spelling?
Yep, if it’s spelled whiskey, with an “e” when it’s from Ireland or the United States (though if it’s from the US it’s a bourbon whiskey, but I’ll get to that later).
If whisky is spelled without the “e” it’s either from Scotland, Canada, or Japan (who knew they even distilled whisky in Japan).
Next, there is whiskey bourbon which can only be distilled in the US. Basically, bourbon is a type of whiskey (so all bourbons are whiskeys) that can only wear the name bourbon if it’s distilled in the US (though rules on this matter do vary per country). But, and here is the important thing to remember for the next time you chat with a whiskey lover, not all whiskeys are bourbons.
That makes a lot of sense because apparently you also have whisky in Scotland, Canada, and Japan which are clearly not from the US.
Alright, that was my trivia lecture on whiskey, which will come in very handy if you decide to get #24 of the whiskey lover gifts!
You can now carry this tote bag around and lecture everyone around you about the cool fact you just learned.
