Not sure why, but th Canadian and Scotch products are called “whisky” while American and Irish products are “whiskey”.

I believe it’s an unenforced law in the US. All Irish and American made Whiskey’s are designated by the “E”. All Canadian and Scotch Whisky’s have no “E”. Yet! Makers Mark, has dropped the “E” on they’re labels.
