Note
A plural that turns a mass noun into a countable one, and it counts two different things: servings, as in two whiskeys at the bar, or varieties, as in a distillery's range of single-malt whiskeys. The -eys spelling follows Irish and American practice, while Scotch is usually pluralized whiskies. In historical writing the same form can also mean light one-horse gigs, so context decides between a round of drinks and a row of carriages.
