Though, the fairest would be Whiskey/Whisky, I assume, you might change it to that?
Correct. The spelling variant is not so dependent on the type of spirit, but rather the region of the speaker. When speaking of liquors in Britain and Europe proper, they are spelled whisky, regardless of the type. Americans spell it whiskey, also without regard to origin.
