Well, I've actually never heard anyone ask for a scotch honestly, and in my adolescence just assumed it was a different type of alcohol altogether. :) However when I asked the man in the Whisky Experience in Edinburgh about it, that's what he told me. He sounded so intelligent, I'm inclined to believe him! ;) My husband is from Scotland, but he's no help in the matter as he hates whisky. :(
