Shipping to US makes the price a bit high for one deck ($26.50 a deck) - two decks more reasonable $21ish each

Not many different backed decks get my consideration - and not picking up doubles of most things at the moment - shame though because I really do like the idea - think I would have liked it a lot more on the fronts - perhaps magicians deck did the whole thing better and I should just go back and grab one of those…

Perhaps I’ll pick one up should they manage to hop over the pond anyway…

You are an evil evil man ;)

Looks like penguin has them: https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S34980

$12.90 - free shipping

This isn’t fair at all - why don’t they just pick my pocket and send me the deck - save me the trouble.

They have plenty (at least 100) - so no rush to grab them if the budget is tight this month - and yes I have already managed to run it tight in 6 days…

I would also be into them (perhaps more so) as a set of coasters ;)

Both spellings work! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky

“Whisky or whiskey is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash.“

My buddy, the self-proclaimed whisky connoisseur, call us out when we spell it with an 'e' lol. Definitely without in Canada.

Whisky means it is from Scotland. Whiskey is from Ireland. It's a deliberate spelling difference so you can tell where it's from.

...regardless, the card is obviously parodying Makers Mark and that's exactly how they spell it. I didn't know that until I looked it up today but all is now well.

Whisky is the correct spelling in Scotia and Canada (and if I'm not mistaken the Japanese picked up that spelling as well).
Whiskey is correct in the U.S. and A. and Ireland. Maker's Mark is the exception of that rule since it is the only U.S. destilled whiskey spelled whisky.
Glad that this deck sparked this conversation. The deck itself... well not worth any further conversation. Lacks execution on every level.
