In the US, the usage has not always been consistent. The spelling whiskey is common in Ireland and the United States, while whisky is used in all other whisky-producing countries. There is general agreement that when quoting the proper name printed on a label, the spelling on the label should not be altered. One is that the spelling difference is simply a matter of regional language convention for the spelling of a word, indicating that the spelling varies depending on the intended audience or the background or personal preferences of the writer (like the difference between color and colour or recognize and recognise), and the other is that the spelling should depend on the style or origin of the spirit being described. There are two schools of thought on the issue. Much is made of the word's two spellings: whisky and whiskey. Early forms of the word in English included uskebeaghe (1581), usquebaugh (1610), usquebath (1621), and usquebae (1715). This was translated into Old Irish as uisce beatha, which became Uisce beatha ( Irish pronunciation: ) in Irish and uisge beatha in Scottish Gaelic. Distilled alcohol was known in Latin as aqua vitae ("water of life"). This Gaelic word shares its ultimate origins with Germanic water and Slavic voda of the same meaning. The word whisky (or whiskey) is an anglicisation of the Classical Gaelic word uisce (or uisge) meaning "water" (now written as uisce in Modern Irish, and uisge in Scottish Gaelic). 5.5 Flavours and colouring from additives.
