Scotch is the name for the whisky made in Scotland (so-spelled there, rather than "whiskey"). Whisky has been produced in Scotland for a long time, sometimes illegally.
Scotland is divided into a number of regions that produce whiskies with different regional characteristics: highland?, lowland?, speyside?, islay?, and campbeltown?. These characteristics are described by words like smoky, peaty, etc.
