Whiskey

Scotland!

No, they don't. Not one of these are Scottish. Kilts are Irish, the bagpipes are Irish, haggis was invented in Rome, whiskey is Chinese (or Italian, both discovered it independently), porridge was found inside bog bodies 5,000 years old in Scandinavia and Central Europe and tartan is English.

Some would say being American is a handicap in itself!

commercially, yes. the water is added by the distiller to reduce it to an average 40% abv

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.)

(To clarify: yeast is involved in the initial production of alcohol in the mash, but whisky undergoes several processes afterward that remove it.)

Yes, some American Indians did make their own whiskey from corn, particularly tribes in the southeastern United States. They utilized traditional fermentation techniques to create alcoholic beverages, and corn, being a staple crop, was often the primary ingredient. This practice varied among different tribes and regions, influenced by local customs and available resources. However, whiskey production became more widespread among Native Americans after European contact.

The value of decanter bottle D-334-145-66 can vary significantly based on factors like its age, condition, rarity, and market demand. To determine its precise value, it would be best to consult a recent appraisal, auction results, or specialized collectors in the field. If you have any specific details about the decanter, that could also help narrow down its value.

Drinking black double-aged whiskey is not inherently bad; it depends on personal preferences and moderation. If you enjoy the flavor and it fits your palate, it can be a delightful experience. However, excessive consumption of alcohol, regardless of the type, can have negative health effects. Always drink responsibly and be aware of your limits.
