[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Johnnie Walker is scotch, and Jack Daniels is Tennessee whiskey--totally different alcohols. Your friend might like scotch, but if he says his favorite is Jack Daniels, just get him the most expensive bottle your budget will allow.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Well, all scotch is whiskey but not all whiskey is scotch.

Like wine - Chardonnay is wine, but clearly all wine is not Chardonnay.

Some of the higher end Johnny Walkers are going to be " peat-y", which is a hallmark of Scotch.

Each type of whiskey has it's own "rules" eg. Corn content, filtering process, etc. In a high quality whiskey, like OP is asking, these differences are likely to become apparent in mouth feel, taste, and colour. When you're talking scotch, you're also looking at single malt vs. blend, smokiness, etc.

Johnny walker is basically a scotch (not from Scotland), but a blend as it uses more than one malt.
