    Bourbon is made from a grain mash that contains at least 51% corn, while Scotch whiskeys are typically made from malted grains.

      It is widely believed that during the 19th century, Ireland's distillers began to use the 'e' as a way to differentiate their whiskeys from Scotch.

      Whisky comes from the SCOTTISH pronunciation of the Gaelic word Wish-ca-bah
      The Irish pronunciation is Oosh-ca-bah
      The Scottish abbreviated it to wishkie and then anglocised the pronunciation to Whisky.
      So yeah!

      Yes and no. If a distillery in Scotland made a 51% corn spirit and put it in a virgin oak casks for at least 3 years it is classed as scotch but couldn't call itself bourbon. It could be called Scotch grain whisky or bourbon style whisky.

      Buffalo Trace is great if you can find it. Bulleit Rye and Woodford Reserve are great "cheap" alternatives that will satisfy just about anyone. My recommendation is to ask your local liquor store for a local option - though it might not be the "best" bourbon you are supporting the local economy and everyone likes something local.

      That's not quite true if referring to scotch. Virgin oak barrels can be used. But you are right about most scotch distillers using ex bourbon casks. Sherry casks are also commonly used.

      It’s was to give non Kentucky bourbons a fair shot on the international market.
      Jack Daniel technically is a bourbon but they prefer to market themselves as “Tennessee sour mash whiskey”
