And for whiskey, Ireland.
In Scotland it's called whisky, but Scottish whisky should be called Scotch outside Scotland. You can buy good Scotch outside Scotland. Irish Bushmills (technically made in the UK) and Jameson are exported.
(to remember, Irish for Ireland is Éire, so theirs is spelled with an e)
They are both the oldest Gaelic word in English, corruption of uisce, meaning water.
I object to bourbon being called whiskey or whisky since I tried it.
