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.

What are the differences between scotch and brandy in terms of production, flavor profiles, and aging processes?

Scotch and brandy are both types of distilled spirits, but they differ in several key ways. Scotch is made from malted barley and aged in oak barrels, giving it a smoky and peaty flavor profile. Brandies, on the other hand, are made from fermented fruit juices, such as grapes or apples, and are aged in oak barrels, resulting in a sweeter and fruitier taste. Additionally, Scotch is typically aged for a minimum of three years, while brandy can vary in aging time depending on the desired flavor profile.
