∙ 12y agoBoth were spelt the same until around 1870 when cheap whiskey produced in Scotland using the new Coffey stills flooded the market. Ironically enough the still although invented in Scotland had been improved and patented by an Irishman! The advantage of it was it could produce continuously as opposed to in batches and delivered a higher alcoholic content although the distillate would contain some contaminates.
The Irish and US added the "e" in to distinguish their higher quality product.
The spelling has stuck and now has nothing to do with quality. Scotch Whisky as well as most other countries use the spelling without the "e".
Irish whiskey generally is a triple distilled whiskey as opposed to the Scottish double distilled product and does not use peat in the malting process (although there are exceptions to both these).

ANS 2 - Scotch whisky tastes different from American, Irish or Canadian whiskies. Single Malt Scotch whiskies even taste different by brand. This is all due to whatever the whisky is made from, including the water used in it, and how it is roasted, fermented and kept to age.

Can whiskey distilled in America be called scotch?
There are several distilleries that claim to be distilling scotch whiskey outside of Scotland, such as the Glen Breton whiskey distilled by Glenora Distilleries in Cape Breton, NS, Canada. These claims are based on the Scottish Heritage of the region from which it is made and the efforts to fashion it according to traditional recipes and practices from Scotland. Realistically though, no whiskey made out of Scotland can properly be called Scotch any more than a whiskey made in Japan can be called Irish Whiskey as it is simply a title for the country of origin. A better term for such claimants would be "scotch-style" whiskey. The ironic thing is that, while Scotch tends to have a distinctive taste, which is derived largely from the practice of using peat fires in the distilling process, many modern Scottish distilleries do not follow this process and are indistinguishable from any other mass produced generic whiskey. In spite of this they are still able to legitimately title their products as scotch. Whiskeys like Glen Breton that try to follow the traditional practices will taste much more like what many expect from a scotch because of the peaty tones they produce, but are not in fact scotch. (Although I describe the peatiness of scotch as its distinguishing characteristic, many traditional scotch whiskeys have never had this characteristic. This taste tends to characterise scotch because most of the very popular, widely marketed scotches ie. Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, Oban, Chivas Regal, Jonnie Walker, have some level of peetiness. Realistically range of taste, highlight, and finish in scotch is no less diverse than anywhere else in the world.)

What is the difference between a scotch and a whiskey?
There is NO difference. Scotch IS whisky. Scotch is a nickname for whisky made in Scotland. On every bottle of whisky made in Scotland the label says 'Scotch Whisky' rather than 'Scottish Whisky'. The word 'Scotch' simply means where the product is made i.e. Scotland. ----- Scotch is a tradename and must meet requirements for ingredients, distilling, aging and blending to be called "Scotch". Whiskey is more generic referring to any distilled drink made from grain mash, fermented and then distilled one, two or three times then stored in charred wooden barrels to "age" the whiskey and gain its brown color. In some cases the aging process is skipped as in the production of "moonshine", which techically could be called young unaged whiskey.

Can you replace brandy for whiskey in your cake?
Yes, although brandy is sweeter than whiskey so the overall taste will be different. You can add some sugar to your recipe to counteract this.
Does scotch get better with age?
Scotch peaks at around 15 - 18yrs, sometimes up to 21yrs. According to the Scotch Whisky Research Institute, at least 65% of the flavour comes from the oak maturation. So if you want something to taste more "woody" and oaky go for an older whiskey. So to answer - yes it gets better with age, but older is not necessarily better. If like many you prefer sweeter more floral whiskies go for a lower age. For ones with a "spirity" character go younger than 15yrs. If you want something which is much more complex but also very woody and sometimes viscous and treacle like, go for older whiskies. And to clarify for anyone reading - whiskey stops maturing when it is de-casked so it doesn't go through any other ageing in the bottle. Enjoy your Scotch and check out some Scotch blogs!
What is blend whisky?
If spelled whisky (not whiskey) the i assume Scotch Whisky that is under Brittish regulation. Then Blend is any portion of grain whisky blended with malt whisky. Normally more grain than malt. It could also be a "blend malt whisky" then it is all malt whisky but from more than one dstillery.
What is the difference between how single malt and blended whiskeys are made?
I believe the "pure malt" referred to is actually a "single single" malt. Single malt is when whiskey comes from a single malting, or batch of malted barley. This just means that the same batch of malted barley was used to make all the whiskey in that particular bottle you are drinking. It can come from many different actual batches/vats of whiskey as long as the same malt is used. Single single is when all the whiskey came from the same batch of whiskey, not just the same batch of malted grain. However, sometimes even single single malt whiskey is not pure. It is sometimes watered down to obtain the desired proof, or alcoholic content. The purest form of whiskey is barrel strength single single malt. This means it is a single single malt that has not been watered down. This may actually be the "pure malt" that you heard about. For anybody wondering about double malt, it is simply whiskey made using whiskey made from two separate malts. When any more than two malts are used, it is generally referred to simply as "malt whiskey" or "blended malt" whiskey. The reason superb single malts are so expensive is the fact that if the malt is sub-par, then it cannot be used and a new malt must be done. On the opposite end of the spectrum, this is also why some single malts are so cheap. They aren't after that 'perfect' whiskey. They're just making whiskey as cheap as possible... kinda like the McDonald's of whiskey. This also applies to blended malt whiskeys. Some are truly superb because of the extensive blending that goes into making them exactly how the blendmaster wants them. Double or blended malts make up most of your mid-price whiskey due to the ease of mixing multiple malts to come up with a mediocre product... not the smoothest on the market, but far from the bottom of the barrel, so to speak.
