Everyone named Glen has to move to Scotland now.

European clown court.

Must suck to be made of whiskey, and have a permanent label glued to their skin.

Whiskey with an "e" is the Irish way to spell it, and the origin of Whisky without the "e" lies in Scotland.

Whisky > whiskey

Good, another way for the plebs to differentiate Scotch Whisky from the inferior Whiskey.

I've got a friend named Glen from Liberia. So how's that work?

Scotch > bourbon

Pretty indisputable

Alcohol is poison

Wait, is the userbase here unfamiliar with the territorial nature of liquor nomenclature?

To put it in context, bourbon is a name for liquor in the United States that is reserved only for the liquor manufactured in its borders. Most of it comes frome Kentucky and that is the general expectation when identifying something as bourbon. Scotch is of course manufactured in Scottland.

These names are important. Blurring the lines, or allowing new age faggots to blur the lines with their bullshit marketing, is a serious matter and I'm honestly more offended about this misunderstanding than a leftist queer faggot trying to decipher bathroom hieroglyphics.

Ireland is banned from using it's word for valley and several of it's placenames... keep it classy EU.

Ireland is a shithole and not a real country

I wish I could disagree. Then again, what country isn't these days?

Scotch tastes like ass.
