Well, scotch and whiskey are essentially the same, only scotch is from a place called Scotland. Otherwise it is known (in Ireland, America, etc.) as whiskey. There are some other differences in terms of what is being fermented, for how long, and filtration, but it is mostly a geographic distinction.
