	Scotch whisky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In North America, the abbreviated term "Scotch" is usually used for "Scotch Whisky." In England, Scotland, and Wales, the term "Whisky" almost always refers to "Scotch Whisky", and the term "Scotch" is rarely used by itself.
		The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottling number 1.81, for instance, is known by some as "the green Glenfarclas": it was finished in a rum cask after 27 years in an oak (ex-Bourbon) barrel and is the colour of extra-virgin olive oil; this is an homage to the legendary "Green Springbank", also aged in rum casks.
		Single malt Scotch whisky is malt whisky that is distilled entirely at a single distillery, and is not blended with grain whisky.

	TED Scotch Case

	The history of scotch whisky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Scotch whisky can trace its roots back to the ancient Celts of more than 500 years ago.
		The production of Scotch whisky came about because there was no effective way of storing beer over a long period of time, and distilling a liquid into a spirit drink was a way around this.
		A compromise was reached in 1823 when legislation made producing Scotch whisky a profitable venture, and all though this didn’t completely wipe out illegal production it was a giant step in forming it into the great industry that it became.

	SoYouWanna choose a good scotch?
		Blended scotch is made from blends of up to 50 different kinds of grain and malt whiskies.
		95% of the Scotch exported from Scotland is of the blended variety, but that's not because the rest of the world has poor taste; most of the scotch consumed in Scotland is also blended.
		The snobbery is, however, tempered by the fact that scotch is an earthy beverage, with strong, smoky flavors, and only those who have truly taken the time to acquire the taste can actually choke down single malts.

	Scottish Ale vs. Scotch #386882 - Beer Advocate
		According to Greg Noonan, author of "Scotch Ale" (Classic Beer Styles Series #8) is a stronger beer than "Scottish Ale": "Scotch Ale is a strong 6 to 10 percent alcohol by volume, sweet and very full-bodied ale of 1.070 to 1.130 OG, with malt and roast malt flavors predominating, of deep burnished-copper to brown color.
		That Scotch ale I made earlier this year from a historic recipie using Scotch Broom instead of hops must not be a Scotch Ale either.
		The Scotch Broom must be made of Whiskey or something or it would be Scottish Broom, because as you say "Scotch = whisky from Scotland." Thanks now that I know that it is actually Whisky from Scotland Broom growing all over then I don't need to go to the liquor store anymore.

	Questions & Answers: Scotch
		Dictionaries often amalgamate this word with scotch in the sense of gashing, or cutting a mark or notch, but there seem to have been two distinct terms involved.
		You might, for example, scotch a gate open with a stone, or scotch a ladder by putting something at its foot to stop it slipping, or scotch a wheel with a chock or stone to stop a cart or carriage from running away.
		Whatever its origin, by the latter part of the nineteenth century scotch was being used figuratively for frustrating some plan or decisively putting an end to something—metaphorically putting a stone under its wheels.
