Do Scotsmen REALLY wear the kilt?

[DWFII]

But scotch is a type of whisky! There can be no argument there. So, why would you use the term scotch to describe whisky "only if you must"??? What term would you call a Scottish malt spirit other than scotch?

I think there's whiskey what gets lumped under the term "Scotch" that may not even be Scots. That may be why. And many who prefer single malt simply say "malt," or "single malt" rather than Scotch--it is, in some peoples' minds (mine included), a valid distinction.
