A world of whiskey for the day it celebrates.

If you missed International Whisk(e)y Day in March, you have another chance to celebrate tomorrow, May 20, which is International Whiskey Day. Founded in 2012 by a Scottish university student (who was of legal drinking age), it’s a day to enjoy not just Scottish distilleries, but those beyond the island’s borders. You can pour yourself a straight drama or make things festive in a cocktail. Here are some recipes to celebrate the day, the season, and the many expressions, with or without the letter “e.”
