I may be wrong, but 'something in the back of my jaded memory' thinks it the 'e' may be an Americanism? Not too sure.

Scots refer to it without the 'E'. (or rather..... they should).

Yeah Pyr Los Americanos often use the 'e' but its not their fault. Think Bushmills.

Scottish whisky or Irish Whiskey.

According to Wiki (thats whisky without the h and s)

Whiskey or whisky is an anglicization of a Goidelic name (Irish: uisce beatha and Scottish Gaelic: uisge beatha) literally meaning "water of life". Earlier anglicizations include usquebaugh, usquebea (1706) and iskie bae (1583).

First written records of its production actually come from Ireland, so maybe they have the right to insist on it being spelled with an 'e'.

Ah.... I see the Irish version. Understandable it's with an 'e'.....they'd all have been too drunk to realise the error of their ways!!

PMSL, I dont really care how it is spelt, so long as it tastes ok, preference for either Irish or Scottish is dependant on mood.

The real bugbear I have is when people call Scottish people, objects etc Scotch.

AAARRGGGHHH...... my pet hate too.

Scotch is a drink.

Scots or Scottish refers to the nationality.

It's all down to ignorance - those who cannot tell the difference, really in fairness: are more to be pitied than laughed at. (sometimes!!)
