Without googling the answer, what whisk(e)y (name deliberately

the US? For extra credit; by whom and why?

AFAIK, no such answer (and I didn't Google anything) - "medicinal" whisk(e)y,
with a prescription, was legal and AFAIK, there were several "brands"
available.

The only whisky that tastes like medicine is Laphroig (Leap Frog). It
smells and tastes like iodine. Lagavulan (sp) is a close second.
