:Actually, the generic term is either spelling. Both are accepted. ''Classically'', "whiskey" refers to the drink distilled in the Irish manner, and "whisky" to that distilled in the Scottish manner. Having said that... it was "whisky" in the script in this case, so we stick with that. :) -- [[User:Sulfur|Sulfur]] 22:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC) |

:Oh, and the "correct and proper" spelling really is "whisky". As an interesting aside. It's one of those few British words that Americans actually spell properly. -- [[User:Sulfur|Sulfur]] 22:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC) |

Sherman's whiskey?
I wonder if they make "Sherman's Whiskey" from quadrotriticale? Would Klingon's drink it? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mike Nobody (talk • contribs).
- Presumably, quadrotriticale and quintotriticale both could be used to produce something akin to the form of whiskey called rye - but I've seen no Trek reference to there having been a whiskey produced on Sherman's Planet.--Fenian 20:02, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

The generic term is spelled 'w-h-i-s-k-e-y.' Spelled without the 'e', 'w-h-i-s-k-y', it refers to Scotch whisky. --StarFire209 22:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
