For a whisky to be called bourbon, it must be aged in a charred oak

The used barrels are shipped around the world to Europe, India, China

i don't like Bourbon at all. when i started drinking whisky i
tried many different brands and don't like any of them. i love
Scotch and i do like several Scotches that spent some time aging
in used Bourbon barrels though.
Scotch isn't whiskey?
Scotch is whisky, not whiskey.
