The spelling of whisky/whiskey is not tied to the speaker's dialect, it's actually tied to the whisk(e)y's origin.

Scotch, Canadian, and Japanese whiskies are spelled "whisky."

American and Irish whiskeys are spelled "whiskey."

So "bourbon whisky" would be incorrect in any English dialect, as would "Canadian whiskey."

I did know that it's based on origin, just poking fun (I had to Google the local spelling before connecting)

I did not know that Japanese was also without an e.
