I presume you mean Scotch Whisky. You can find Scotch Whisky anywhere in the world. Supermarkets, Whisky Shops and any other shop that sells alcohol.
There is NO difference. Scotch IS whisky. Scotch is a nickname for whisky made in Scotland. On every bottle of whisky made in Scotland the label says 'Scotch Whisky' rather than 'Scottish Whisky'. The word 'Scotch' simply means where the product is made i.e. Scotland. ----- Scotch is a tradename and must meet requirements for ingredients, distilling, aging and blending to be called "Scotch". Whiskey is more generic referring to any distilled drink made from grain mash, fermented and then distilled one, two or three times then stored in charred wooden barrels to "age" the whiskey and gain its brown color. In some cases the aging process is skipped as in the production of "moonshine", which techically could be called young unaged whiskey.
Blended Whisky IS Scotch. Blended Whisky is, as the name suggests, a carefully selected blend of different whiskies.
Irish was the first to make and and the scottish took it
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.
Whisky without an 'e' is scotch whisky, made in Scotland. Whiskey with an 'e' is American, Irish, Canadian and others except Japanese which has adopted the Scottish spelling.
Scotch is usually made by aging them in casks that were originally used for different alcoholic beverages (whisky, sherry, etc).
