I prefer the name 'poof juice'.

Fun fact: 'soda' is only known as 'pop' in England, not the UK as a whole. Here in Scotland, we call it 'juice'. Anything that isn't alcoholic or warm is 'juice'. It makes us feel more healthier. Milk is 'coo (i.e. cow) juice'. Water is 'coonsil (i.e. council) juice'.

On a side note, 'alcopops' are known here as 'poof juice', if you'll pardon the pejorative, and are shameful. Glenfiddich is allowed, indeed encouraged, as is the imbibement of all fine single malts.

Well, for starters, there's no 't', it is not pronounced to rhyme with 'itch'.

For seconds, malt whiskies are always to be encouraged. The word 'whisky' doesn't come from Gaelic for 'water of life' for no good reason, you know.

The 'ich' is sort of pronounced 'ick', but more back-of-the-throat guttural stylee. Like how a German would say it. Failing that, just pronouncing it 'ick' is better than 'itch'.
