Whiskey versus Whisky

I’m looking out there for the one person who apparently was not offended by the spelling of “whiskey’’ in my column on Speyside single malts. If you are that person, allow me to explain. Whiskey is a word with an alternative spelling, whisky. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Can a Jell-O Shot Be Classy?

Drunk With Power: Scotland Uses Whisky to Create Energy - Environment

The famous Speyside region of Scotland is home to half of the country's 100 distilleries. They supply Scotland (and the rest of the world) with great whisky, of course, but that distilling process also results in lots of spent grains. Now that byproduct of the whisky-making process is going to keep the lights on as well, thanks to a new biomass plant in the village of Rothes that just got the go-ahead. The plant will take spent grains from 16 of Speyside's distilleries—including Glenlivet, Chivas Regal, and Macallan—and burn them with woodchips to create electricity for the region.

The plant will also create fertilizer and animal feed from a residue called "pot ale" that collects in the distilleries' copper stills. History of alcoholic beverages.
