LOL...
scotch is not only branded by Johnny Walker... any whisky [ note: not whiskey ] made is scotland is a SCOTCH. { i am sure you can go in internet and find more but in short } { they are made out or particular grain like barley; malt. in other words whisky's are distilled beers :) ]
there are blended whisky like Johnny Walker; Chivas; Dewars
[ btw red label is the worst one in the scotch. black is equivalent to dewars-12 and chivas-12; gold is a slight notch above dewars-18 and chivas-18]
there are other scotches Single Malts like Mccallan; Glenfiddich and Glenlivit. 
single malts are far better than blended. Glenlivit-18 is good.

whisky is made is scotland and whiskey are made anywhere else :)



Brandy = more like a medicine for cold :) . its usually made out of fruit. in other words brandy = distilled wine (or better wine).

Remy Martin, Courvoisier, Hennesey are few of the cognac's i can think of. [ btw dump E&J at the first sight.. it a shame in the name of cognac. ] btw, all the cognacs are branded in VS; VSOP; XO [ similar to whisky's 12, 18 :) ]
