The spelling of whisky/whiskey is not tied to the speaker’s dialect, it’s actually tied to the whisk(e)y’s origin.

Scotch, Canadian, and Japanese whiskies are spelled “whisky.”

American and Irish whiskeys are spelled “whiskey.”

So “bourbon whisky” would be incorrect in any English dialect, as would “Canadian whiskey.”
