Eh? I mean, literally, yes, there is an e in Wales, but if we're talking whisky, there isn't..

Wales's primary Whisky distillery [0] calls it whisky.

The GP is responding to a claim that you could have a rule that it is spelled whisky in countries which don't have an e in their name (whisky in Scotland, whiskEy in IrEland). GP is pointing out, same as you, that Wales would be a counter-example to this rule.
