Yes, when you say Scotch-Irish you are actually saying whiskey Irish.

And the Scottish people refer to themselves as Scots, Scotsmen or Scotswomen not Scotch.

Scots from Scotland call themselves “Scots” or “Scottish.” The name “Scotch-Irish” is an Americanism, recognized in Ulster but disdained in Scotland.
