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.

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.
