What is scotch made from and is there sugar in it?
Scotch whiskey is made from water and barley. A little yeast may be added to get the fermentation process going. The barley mash is dried in a kiln with a porous floor, under which burns a fire made of peat, which is what gives Scotch it's distinctive smoky and slightly oily flavor. After the whiskey is distilled out, it is aged in barrels for at least 3 years. Most Scotches are blended, but they are blended from nothing but various Scotch whiskys - grain neutral spirits are never mixed in, like they are with many cheaper American whiskeys. Scotch is the only spirit where the name is properly spelled "whisky". In all other forms (rye, bourbon, etc), it is "whiskey".
What is the most popular brand of Scotch in Canada?

What do you call 7up and scotch drink?
Manhattan Sorry, wrong... A Manhattan is whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Scotch whiskey and 7-Up, which aren't typically mixed, is called a "Scotch & 7" to differentiate from the standard "7 and 7", which is Seagrams Seven Crown whiskey (or any whiskey) and 7-Up. Most Scotches are typically too "full bodied" to mix well with citrus drinks, but some people will even mix scotch and grape soda.

What is the difference in single barrel and single malt whiskeys?
Jack Daniels is a brand of whiskey (one of the most famous). It is classed as a Tennessee Straight whiskey (made primarily of corn) which is like Bourbon whiskey except the raw distillate is filtered through charcoal prior to barrel aging."Single malt" is a class of whiskey that describes it as being entirely the end product of a single malted grain (barley or rye are prime candidates) at a single distillery. Well-aged Single Malt Scotch whiskey is considered among the most prestigious whiskeys in the world.
Where is whisky made?
Whisky is made from fermented grain and there are various types.It can be made with barley, barley malt, rye, malt rye, wheat, or corn.If the grain mix is more than 51% corn, is aged in new charred oak barrels and is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), it's Bourbon.
What is the difference between how single malt and blended whiskeys are made?
I believe the "pure malt" referred to is actually a "single single" malt. Single malt is when whiskey comes from a single malting, or batch of malted barley. This just means that the same batch of malted barley was used to make all the whiskey in that particular bottle you are drinking. It can come from many different actual batches/vats of whiskey as long as the same malt is used. Single single is when all the whiskey came from the same batch of whiskey, not just the same batch of malted grain. However, sometimes even single single malt whiskey is not pure. It is sometimes watered down to obtain the desired proof, or alcoholic content. The purest form of whiskey is barrel strength single single malt. This means it is a single single malt that has not been watered down. This may actually be the "pure malt" that you heard about. For anybody wondering about double malt, it is simply whiskey made using whiskey made from two separate malts. When any more than two malts are used, it is generally referred to simply as "malt whiskey" or "blended malt" whiskey. The reason superb single malts are so expensive is the fact that if the malt is sub-par, then it cannot be used and a new malt must be done. On the opposite end of the spectrum, this is also why some single malts are so cheap. They aren't after that 'perfect' whiskey. They're just making whiskey as cheap as possible... kinda like the McDonald's of whiskey. This also applies to blended malt whiskeys. Some are truly superb because of the extensive blending that goes into making them exactly how the blendmaster wants them. Double or blended malts make up most of your mid-price whiskey due to the ease of mixing multiple malts to come up with a mediocre product... not the smoothest on the market, but far from the bottom of the barrel, so to speak.
Can whiskey distilled in America be called scotch?
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 alcohol contains the most alcohol content?
