There is a word: "scotch".
I understand that there's a consistent spelling of "whisky" in Scotland and Canada, but that's true of many english words. That doesn't mean "whiskey" and "whisky" don't refer to the same general thing any more than it means that "theater" and "theatre" don't refer to the the same general thing.
