Well, whiskey can be made anywhere and there are various styles. Scotch is, well, Scotch. The process involves peat to give it the smoky flavor. Makers Mark is a bourbon whiskey which is supposed to be from Kentucky. I think under ATF regs bourbon can come from other places but has to meet certain criteria. Not sure exactly. But makers is from kentucky as are the other good bourbons. Different ingredients and process to give it that sweet, intense flavor. Crown is goat piss. It is a Canadian whiskey, and those are more rye I think. Jack Daniels is tenessee whiskey. It is a bourbon basically, but from tenessee and charcoal filtered. For more detail search the archives. Lotta posts on it. Also check out some books on whisky/whiskey in the bookstore for a detailed description of the difference between a Scotch malt whisky and an American Bourbon or Canadian whiskey.
