词组 whiskey, whisky
释义 whiskey, whisky
      The spelling whiskey is used by Irish and American distillers; whisky is preferred by their counterparts in Britain and Canada. Both spellings are used by Americans in general contexts (that is, other than on the label of a bottle of rye or bourbon), but whiskey is more common:
      ... he had been arrested and tried for making whiskey —William Faulkner, Knight's Gambit, 1949
      ... walking to the filing cabinet for the hidden whiskey —James Jones, From Here To Eternity, 1951
      ... produced bootleg whisky —Nicholas Pileggi, New York, 24 July 1972
      ... a glass of whiskey beside the typewriter —Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Saturday Rev., 29 Oct. 1977
      Some writers make a point of omitting the e when referring specifically to whiskey distilled in Britain (that is, Scotland) or Canada.
