Actually Scottish people tend to get well pissed off at being called Scotch, so it's for your own good, laddie.
Even more actually I had one tell me off for calling whisky Scotch as well so I dunno what to think about that.

It's like Chinese food. In China, it's just food. Much like whisky. In Scotland, whisky is food.

This is my grandpa on my mom's side: http://www.ancestry.ca/genealogy/ww1-canadian-soldiers/Nathaniel-Gow.html
My grandma grew up in Dufftown, but they met in Boston (US) and then again in Saint John, NB after the war, where they settled.
So that makes me 100 proof. Or maybe it's the booze. :-{)

More to the point, in that case 'Scotch' is a brand name.

Quote:
The use of the term Scotch in the name was a pejorative meaning "stingy" in the 1920s and 1930s. The brandname Scotch came about around 1925 while Richard Drew was testing his first masking tape to determine how much adhesive he needed to add. The bodyshop painter became frustrated with the sample masking tape and exclaimed, "Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!"[2][3] The name was soon applied to the entire line of 3M tapes. Scotty McTape, a kilt-wearing cartoon boy, was the brand's mascot for two decades, first appearing in 1944.[4] The familiar tartan design, a take on the well-known Wallace tartan, was introduced in 1945.[

I'm not sure what the point is that you're making.
Scotch is an adjective meaning "of Scotland". The modern usage in Scotland is Scottish or Scots, and the word "Scotch" is only applied to specific products...
