Scotch
Scotch is whiskey that is made in Scotland. To be considered a scotch a whiskey must meet these criteria(from the "Scotch Whiskey Order of 1990"): For the purpose of the Act "Scotch whisky" means whisky— (a) which
has been produced at a distillery in Scotland from water and malted
barley (to which only whole grains of other cereals may be added)
all of which have been—
(i) processed at that distillery into a
mash;
(ii) converted to a fermentable substrate only
by endogenous enzyme systems; and
(iii) fermented only by the addition of
yeast; (b) which has been distilled at an alcoholic
strength by volume of less than 94.8 per cent so that the
distillate has an aroma and taste derived from the raw materials
used in, and the method of, its production;
(c) which has been matured in an excise
warehouse in Scotland in oak casks of a capacity not exceeding 700
litres, the period of that maturation being not less than 3
years;
(d) which retains the colour, aroma and taste
derived from the raw materials used in, and the method of, its
production and maturation; and
(e) to which no substance other than water and
spirit caramel has been added.
