The way to tell Scotch from other whiskey is that Scotch always says Scotch on it.

While there are patterns with which countries use whisky vs. whiskey, there's no legal requirement.

Technically, although this isn't actually the distinction OP made so you're absolutely right, Scotch isn't the same category as Scottish whisky/whiskey. It doesn't simply mean it's made in Scotland.
