I deleted the previous answer because it was a bias opinion and not fact.
Scotch or to give it it's full name 'Scotch Whisky' because it's made in Scotland.
The taste is just like whisky although there are many different whiskies and so there are many different tastes. It's all down to taste.
Scotch peaks at around 15 - 18yrs, sometimes up to 21yrs. According to the Scotch Whisky Research Institute, at least 65% of the flavour comes from the oak maturation. So if you want something to taste more "woody" and oaky go for an older whiskey. So to answer - yes it gets better with age, but older is not necessarily better. If like many you prefer sweeter more floral whiskies go for a lower age. For ones with a "spirity" character go younger than 15yrs. If you want something which is much more complex but also very woody and sometimes viscous and treacle like, go for older whiskies. And to clarify for anyone reading - whiskey stops maturing when it is de-casked so it doesn't go through any other ageing in the bottle. Enjoy your Scotch and check out some Scotch blogs!
You drink scotch on the rocks with water.

No. If it's Scotch whiskey and the substance caffeine you mean.
Answer - 'Best' Scotch WhiskyThe short answer is NO. It is all down to personal taste. There are three types of Scotch Whisky (correct spelling) Blended, Single Malt and Pure Malt. There are over 2500 brands of Scotch Whisky, only 200 or so are available for the home market. The rest are for export, private clubs, collector's etc. The best Whisky is the one that someone else buys for you. Just to say that there is also Delux blends that contain a higher proportion of malt whiskey as opposed to grain.There is also whiskey known as vatted malt.
no Your "no" is far too general. Some like it, some don't. For some, it may be an "acquired taste", like good Scotch. Keep at it. You'll like it!!!
"Scotch" (not including the trademark adhesive products from 3M) refers to anything from Scotland (like "Scottish" would be). In the nomenclature of alcoholic beverages, "scotch" refers to scotch whisky, a type of whisky distilled in Scotland. It generally has this smoky and/or peaty taste to it.
It depends on your taste preferences. Scotch whisky, like some other categories of whisk(e)ys tend to be on the smoky side (due to the aging in barrels).
Try Habanero peppers. Not exactly the same taste, but they are from the same species and have the same level of heat as a scotch bonnet. You will know them when you see them because they look exactly like a scotch bonnet pepper.
use of peat in the fires to dry the malt.
I wonder what on earth has your question has to do with Answers.com
There are several distilleries that claim to be distilling scotch whiskey outside of Scotland, such as the Glen Breton whiskey distilled by Glenora Distilleries in Cape Breton, NS, Canada. These claims are based on the Scottish Heritage of the region from which it is made and the efforts to fashion it according to traditional recipes and practices from Scotland. Realistically though, no whiskey made out of Scotland can properly be called Scotch any more than a whiskey made in Japan can be called Irish Whiskey as it is simply a title for the country of origin. A better term for such claimants would be "scotch-style" whiskey. The ironic thing is that, while Scotch tends to have a distinctive taste, which is derived largely from the practice of using peat fires in the distilling process, many modern Scottish distilleries do not follow this process and are indistinguishable from any other mass produced generic whiskey. In spite of this they are still able to legitimately title their products as scotch. Whiskeys like Glen Breton that try to follow the traditional practices will taste much more like what many expect from a scotch because of the peaty tones they produce, but are not in fact scotch. (Although I describe the peatiness of scotch as its distinguishing characteristic, many traditional scotch whiskeys have never had this characteristic. This taste tends to characterise scotch because most of the very popular, widely marketed scotches ie. Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, Oban, Chivas Regal, Jonnie Walker, have some level of peetiness. Realistically range of taste, highlight, and finish in scotch is no less diverse than anywhere else in the world.)
what di the scotch -irish homes look like
They actually taste better straight out of the pack as cooking them dries them out slightly.
no Premium whiskey from JW starts at black label, then green label, then gold label, and FINALLY, the holiest of holy: blue label. I personally like the green label the best, for its intensity. If you want the smoothest Johnny Walker, then get the black. You won't be disappointed!
Scotch neat is a scotch with no ice.
Like any alcoholic beverages, the only alcohol that is contained is ethanol, no matter if it's Scotch whisky or beer.
