The most basic difference is that Bourbon is made with at least 51% corn and Scotch and Irish whisky is made with malted Barley, and maybe some unmalted in the Irish. Canadian whiskey can have corn, rye, barley and other grains.

Thank you Brian

What about American Whiskey? Is that made with corn also?

Cheers
