[Seattle Weekly]. The difference between whiskey and whisky is simple but important: whisky usually denotes Scotch whisky and Scotch-inspired liquors, and whiskey denotes the Irish and American liquors.
The word whisky (or whiskey) is an anglicisation of the Classical Gaelic word uisce / uisge meaning water (now written as uisce in Irish Gaelic, and uisge in Scottish Gaelic). Distilled alcohol was known in Latin as aqua vitae (water of life). Blended malt whisky is a mixture of single malt whiskies from different distilleries. 2  If a whisky is labelled pure malt or just malt it is almost certainly a blended malt whisky. 3  This was formerly called a vatted malt whisky. 4  Blended whisky is made from a mixture of different types of whisky.
