Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

I always get confused between Scotch and Whiskey and Rye and the differences..
I don’t blame you one bit! There is a ton of different styles! Rye is made with at least 51% rye grain. Whiskey in general can be made with a mash of multiple grain types. Scotch is a whiskey made in Scotland under the Scottish rules. Bourbon has to be made in the US with at least 51% corn.

Wow thank you for educating me. I avoid all of them because Im allergic to the grain Rye.
 
I rather suspect it will be as difficult to find bad Scotch in Scotland as it was to find bad food in Italy!
Depends on what you like. Scotland is known for their peat in Scotch which is decayed organic matter pulled from certain water sources and used to dry barley. I personally do not like it in most cases. Has almost band-aid flavor but that is just me. You can find non-peated Scotch. Usually called Speyside. Cleaner to me. I guess try both and see what you prefer.

Speyside is too sweet for me. Peaty Islay whisky is where it’s at.
