Vehement comments from readers of Eric Asimov’s N.Y. Times article on single malts caused the Times editors to change their stylebook regarding the word “whiskey”. Scotch whisky has no ‘e’ as several readers strongly pointed out in comments and emails to Asimov. He summed up the feedback in a December post and has now announced the results after careful consideration by the editors: “As of now, the spelling whisky will be used not only for Scotch but for Canadian liquor as well. The spelling whiskey will be used for all appropriate liquors from other sources.”
