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.)
Is all scotch made in Scotland?
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.
Would skittle infused whiskey taste any good?
Yes, I have just made one using all five colours approx 2 medium sized bags per 35cl bottle scotch whiskey, it's heavily skittley with an aftertaste of the scotch. The above is true, but I think slightly less skittles is much better! I personally find this recipe way too sweet and skittley.

No, it ages in the distillery, in a barrel. Whether 8, 10, 13, 15, or 18 years, it does get smoother in the barrel, but stops aging when bottled. Wine is the only alcohol which continues aging in the bottle.

What are the incredent of scotch?
Water, alcohol (made from malted barley that may be smoked over a peat fire), and what are called cogeners. Cogeners are the molecules that attach to the alcohol and/or water during distillation that give each type of liquor its unique flavor. However, the higher proof you distill something to, or the more times you do it, removes more and more of these cogeners. That's why Vodka is distilled a bunch of times to around 195 proof, but Scotch is only distilled a couple of times to less than 100 proof. In Scotch, you want to taste the cogeners.
Why does vodka taste less pure when kept open for a week?
If the cap is cracked, then it shouldn't taste any less pure. If the cap is left off for a week, then it will taste less pure because of air exposed to the vodka
