scotch
An old-fashioned whiskey drink made from Scotland is called scotch.
When people talk about Scotch, they usually mean one of two things. In some cases, it's a type of strong whisky that comes from Scotland - you might order a glass of fine Scotch at a bar to enjoy with friends. But if someone refers to something as "a scotch," they're probably talking about an old pair of shoes or a worn-out piece of clothing made from thick, woven cloth (often wool). This type of scotch is often used for outdoor activities like hiking or working on farms.
