Before I answer the question let medifferentiate between Scotch and a Whiskey..Scotch is a whiskey from Scotland, and whiskey is written as whiskey in US. Let me explain it with the help of an exampleSparkling wine produced in Champagne region of France is strictly called Champagne.Coming to the question Bourbon can never be a scotch because it is an American whiskey, therefore Black Label can never be called a Whiskey..because it is a Scotch, Produced in Scotland.Some other examples of American Whiskies areJack Daniels,Jim Beam.Some other Scotch areTeachers,Glennmorangie (Single Malt)Famous Grouse (Single Malt) and the list goes on...khulbedeepak@gmail.com
It depends. Bourbon is a subset of whiskey. Other whiskeys include Tennessee, Scotch, Canadian, and Rye. Using Scotch or Canadian whiskey in place of bourbon would not be advisable because of taste differences. If bourbon is not available, try a Kentucky or Tennessee whiskey like Early Times or Jack Daniels. Happy mixing!
Jack Daniels is a sour mash Tennessee whiskey. It's a type of bourbon whiskey, not scotch whisky or Irish whiskey.
It would not be 'Scotch' whiskey if made outside Scotland would it ? Many countries make whiskey, U.S.A. (bourbon), Canada, Japan, India, Taiwan, Ireland (whiskey), Wales and even England.
The answer should be yes as Scotch is short for Scotch Whisky and must be distilled at a Scottish distillery. All whiskey is not of course Scotch Whisky (Whiskey in Ireland and the US) and Scotch is sometimes used in other parts of the world as a generic name for whiskey confusing the issue. The fact is, however that it is impossible for all whiskey that is a 'product of Scotland' to really be Scottish if you look at the amount of this whiskey that is distributed across the world. Therefore, it is clear that much whiskey is made in foreign, often Less economically developed countries and sold under the name Scotch Whisky even though it is not really made in Scotland.
Scotch whiskey is a contradiction, Scotch is whisky. Frank Sinatra drank Jack Daniels on the Rocks. 2 fingers of Jack, 4 ice cubes, and topped off with water (not tap water!).
While fans and poets could, and have, written many books on the relative merits of each spirit, there are some basic differences. Scotch is made from Barley Bourbon is made from Corn 'Rye' whiskey is made from rye grain.
The main types of whiskey are Malt Whiskey and Grain Whiskey. After that, they are further divided into: Single Malt Whiskey Blended Malt Whiskey Blended Whiskey Cask Strength Single Cask
Yes. No, not necessarily. Jim Beam Distilleries also makes and markets Jim Beam Rye, which is rye whiskey, not bourbon whiskey. Jim Beam Rye has a tan label, and the much more common Jim Beam bourbon has a white label, and contains the words "Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey." There are other varieties of Jim Beam bourbon that are aged longer, and they have green or black labels, and both contain the word "bourbon.
Yes. It is distilled corn or potatoes, sometimes a combination. There are a number of varieties of whiskeys that are available: bourbon, Canadian, Irish, and Scotch are a few.
