Introduction:
Scotch whisky is whisky made in Scotland. In Britain, the term whisky is usually taken to mean Scotch unless otherwise specified. In other English-speaking countries, it is often referred to as "Scotch".

Factmeter:
-------------------------------------------------
Excellent whiskies are made by similar methods in Japan, but they cannot be called Scotches.
-------------------------------------------------
The only type of whisky which may be produced in Scotland is Scotch Whisky, as under the Scotch Whisky Act of 1988, Regulation 5 which also stipulates that the only whisky which may be manufactured in Scotland is Scotch Whisky.
History:
The first written mention of Scotch whisky is in the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, 1495. A Friar named John Cor was the distiller.
Whisky has been produced in Scotland for hundreds of years. The Gaelic "usquebaugh", meaning "Water of Life", phonetically became "usky" and then "whisky" in English
No one exactly knows when the art of distilling was first practised in Scotland; it is known that the Ancient Celts practised distilling which it has been said, and that the liquid they produced — known in ancient Gaelic as uisge beatha ("water of life") — evolved into Scotch Whisky. By the 11th century distillation first occurred in Scotland in the early Christian monastic sites.
The primitive equipment used at the time and the lack of scientific expertise meant that the spirit produced in those days was probably potent, and occasionally even harmful. During the course of the 15th century, along with better still design, the dissolution of the monasteries took place which lead to the improvement of the Scotch whisky. Many of the monks, driven from their sanctuaries, had no choice but to put their distilling skills to use. The knowledge of distilling then quickly spread to others.
