I love that podcast Aimee Mann did chatting with Rebecca Sugar about the art of songwriting And throwing this subtle shade "You realize no one ever says 'tonic and gin', and the reversal doesn't actually have any artistic meaning It's just what we call a 'cram'"https://twitter.com/TJFlamson/status/1385412361477967879 …

I mean, i'm not aggressive about it, but i do think the spelling distinction matters. And rye whiskey and bourbon whiskey are definitely distinct styles from both Scotch and Irish whisky.

Yeah but some guy in the South isn't going to be drinking Scottish whisky along with American rye whiskey And you wouldn't say it like that if you were Also Ireland is one of the countries that spells it "whiskey"

I think the usual take on this lyric is that in the South you're likely to hear of the two different kinds of whiskey being "bourbon" (corn) and "rye" But "bourbon and rye" is harder to sing

And that's fair too, yeah. tbh the only kind of whiskey that is normally called "X whiskey" *is* Irish whiskey, now that i think about it; bourbon, rye, and Scotch are normally all called just the single word.
