<human>:  Why do you think that American whisky is inferior to irish whisky?
<bot>: American whisky is very high quality whisky, and has a rich history and tradition in the US. It has developed many unique styles, like Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey. It's gaining popularity around the world, and is becoming recognized as world class whisky. There are many different styles of Irish whisky, and also many excellent styles produced in Scotland. I think Irish and Scottish whiskies are very fine whiskies, and have a long history and tradition in those regions. They are highly regarded for their distinctive flavour and quality.
