Whisky (or the Americanized "whiskey") can come from anywhere in the world. It can be made from barley (e.g. all scotch and most American whiskies), wheat, or corn. It uses spring water in the distillation process. The grains are cooked by either peat moss (Scotland, Ireland) or coal in most other cases.
In order for a whisky to be called scotch whisky, it must:
1. be made in Scotland using Scottish barley and spring water, and
2. be cooked over peat moss fire.
