Best Answer

The answer should be yes as Scotch is short for Scotch Whisky and must be distilled at a Scottish distillery. All whiskey is not of course Scotch Whisky (Whiskey in Ireland and the US) and Scotch is sometimes used in other parts of the world as a generic name for whiskey confusing the issue. The fact is, however that it is impossible for all whiskey that is a 'product of Scotland' to really be Scottish if you look at the amount of this whiskey that is distributed across the world. Therefore, it is clear that much whiskey is made in foreign, often Less economically developed countries and sold under the name Scotch Whisky even though it is not really made in Scotland.

...Because that is what defines it as Scotch. Just as Bourbon is only made in the county of Bourbon, Scotch is only made in Scotland. Both are versions of whiskey (whisky in the case of scotch), so when made elsewhere it is simply whiskey.
