very funny whisky topic.
don't talk about things that you don't know anything about or you'll just get embarrassed. I'll apply point #2 to you:
JD is a bourbon, which in the US and other places gets called "whiskey" on the bottle, they're legally not allowed to use the real word "whisky" on the bottle because it just isn't one, it would be fake whisky - much like a Gucchi handbag.
in whisky circles it will always be referred to as a bourbon, to avoid any confusion about the fact that it is not a whisky.
that's me covered point #2 for you.
Within the broad category of whisky/ey are many sub-categories, including bourbon, rye, Tennessee, Scotch, Irish, and Canadian style whiskies. The manufacture of each of these types of whisky/ey is guided and regulated by the government of the spirit’s country of origin. As a result, Canadian whisky, for example, is a whole different animal from Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, and American-style whiskeys such as Tennessee, bourbon, and straight rye.
so JD is a whisky you tool
