I love Scotch, which is a malt whisky made in Scotland.
When did they first start making scotch?
Commercial distilleries began making whisky from wheat and rye in the late 18th century
Has the process of making scotch evolved much since then?
Not too much. All Scotch whisky must age in oak barrels for at least three years.
That is a long time.  What is the longest a scotch has even been aged?
That's a good question and one I'm not totally sure of. You will find an age statement on the bottle that will show a number that reflects the age of the youngest whisky used to produce that product.
Is scotch popular in many places around the world?
I believe it has a select group of followers. Many Scotch drinkers refer to a unit for drinking as a dram. They have their own little club.
It seems like people are very passionate about their scotch
