Scotch, also known as Scotch whisky, is a type of whisky that is made in Scotland.

It is made from malted barley, water, and yeast and is aged in oak casks for at least three years.

Scotch whisky has a distinct flavour profile, with notes of peat smoke, heather, honey, and fruit. The taste can vary depending on the type of scotch, with some being smokier and more robust, while others are smoother and more subtle.

There are two main categories of scotch whisky: single malt and blended.

Single malt scotch is made from 100% malted barley and is distilled at a single distillery. It is aged in oak casks for at least three years and is known for its rich and complex flavour profile.

Blended scotch, on the other hand, is a combination of different single malt whiskies and grain whiskies. It is typically less expensive than single malt scotch and has a more consistent flavour profile.

Scotch whisky is a popular spirit worldwide and is often considered a symbol of Scottish culture and heritage.
