Whiskey Vending Machine

not to say who’s wrong and who’s right… but ‘whisky’ is scottish and ‘whiskey’ is irish or american

and it should NEVER be called scotch.

scotch is not a word a scotsman would ever use, nobody in scotland would ever describe themselves or their whisky as scotch.

I don’t know if it’s an english idiom (they certainly use it a lot)

but there is nothing like a scotsman ordering a whisky in london and being given jack daniels, and when pointing out that you didn’t want a bourbon, they say .. oh why didn’t you ask for scotch….

I’m English, and I call it whisky.

Being a fearsome snob, like all good Englishmen, I’ve always viewed someone calling it “scotch” as being a pretentious ignoramus, attempting familiarity with a noble liquor and only managing to reveal their dismal lack of sophistication, who deserves only the cheap stuff and a miserable hangover.

That is all.

All of this arguing over what it is called or how to spell it, and nobody bothered to point out that it is a travesty to drink whisky, scotch, or bourbbon cold! Give it to me warm, and neat, please.
