Um...scotch OR whisky ?
scotch and whisky are 2 different types of liquor ?

er.. actually SCOTCH is a type of whisky! originated from scotland nonetheless lolx.
It's mainly malt and grain type. i.e. single malt, single grain, etc. and mainly made from water and malted barley, to which only other whole grains may be added.
Malt whisky must contain no grain other than malted barley and be distilled in pot stills. Grain whisky may contain unmalted barley or other malted or unmalted grains such as wheat and maize
There are also Bourbon whiskey, as in another type of American whiskey, with at least 51% maize or corn content with the remainder being wheat, rye, and malted barley.
Lolx ok there's my 2 cents of whiskey explained hehehe
