Kingsley Amis in "On Drink" specifies "bourbon whiskey" in his whiskey
collins recipe, with the note:
For once, you can use rye or Irish whiskey or Scotch whisky* if you
feel like it.
and the footnote:
* Fact for the factually-minded: only Scotch may be legally be spelt
without the 'e'.
Incidentally, his note for the Old-Fashioned reads:
You really have to use bourbon. The Rye Old-Fashioned is not too
bad; the Irish version just tolerable; the Scotch one not worth
while.
