Why is there a difference between whisky and whiskey?

Generally speaking, whiskys are Scottish in origin, while whiskeys may come from any country. But there is no hard-and-fast rule about it.

whiskey is a beverage Irish and American in origin, according to google.

Wiktionary says whisky is Scotch and whiskey is Irish or bourbon, apparently.
