“the difference between scotch, bourbon, single malt, double malt, etc.”
First of all, you should know that there is no diff. bet. them after somewhere ’bout the 13-14th glass 😉
But BEFORE that, there are some minor differences, yes. Technically there is no difference between whiskey and scotch. Scotch is made in Scotland, and whiskey, elsewhere. They are both barley based distilled beverages that are barrel aged.
Burbon is made in the same distillation and aging manner as whiskey, but it is mainly from corn, and is american based (Kentuky?)
Malt whisky is a whisky made from 100% malted barley; it is distilled in an onion-shaped pot still. Malt whisky that’s made in one distillery, not blended with anything alse, is called a single malt whisky to distinguish it from blended whiskies (“double malt”)
