I encountered a similar problem when in Seattle (I think - it was somewhere on the west coast, anyway) and I ordered a whisky in a bar. They gave me bourbon.
I should of course have asked for Scotch, but over here in Scotland nobody ever calls it that - it's just whisky. In fact it's quite normal to specify the brand. If you wanted bourbon or Irish whiskey here, you'd again ask for it by name.
