scotch

    Article

    A type of whiskey usually made in Scotland. Scotch whiskys (which are spelled without the "e") have a distinctive smokey flavor, a result of the distilling process, which includes heating malted barley over a peat fire. Because of its unique distilling and aging processes, Scotch is often preferred to other types of whiskey by connoisseurs.
