Background
Scotch was an undercover member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau inside the Black Organization. Not much has been revealed about his past and his time inside the organization, although he was acquainted with Rei Furuya (another undercover agent from the same organization) as well as Shuichi Akai (an undercover FBI agent using the alias Dai Moroboshi). Scotch was killed before his real name was revealed to the other black organization members.

Plot overview
Scarlet Epilogue (Manga: 898, Anime: 783)
Scotch was first mentioned in Manga file 898. During Bourbon and Vermouth's conversation, she mentions a male infiltrator from the Secret Police who had been killed before they could figure out his name. Bourbon tells her that his code name was "Scotch".
Girls Band (Manga: 937-938, Anime: Unknown)
Masumi has a flashback to 4 years ago where she saw her brother Shuichi on a train platform with another man. At that time, Masumi thought that Shuichi was supposed to be in America so she approached them. Shuichi told her to go away but she made the excuse that she did not have the money to get home. While Shuichi went to go buy her a ticket, the other man pulled a guitar out of the case on his back and taught her some notes. Before Shuichi returned, a third man that looks like Rei Furuya came over and called the other man "Scotch". Masumi believed this to be a nickname rather than an indication of his race because the man looked very Japanese.
Masumi reveals to Conan, Ran, Sonoko, and Amuro that her older brother Shuichi Akai is an FBI agent. Sonoko then enquirers if her brother's friend might be an FBI agent as well but Masumi denies this possibility by saying that he must have been a friend that Akai was meeting with while on vacation. Amuro thinks to himself that Scotch was a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau (Koankeisatsu) and that Akai was the one responsible for his death.
Speculation
It is speculated that Scotch was someone close to his fellow Secret Police agent Rei Furuya (Bourbon), and Shuichi Akai might have been responsible for the former's death, resulting in Rei's deep grudge against Shuichi.
- Scotch was mentioned by Vermouth as a male agent, which fits Shuichi's words that he told Bourbon in file 897: "Also, about him, I regret what happened, even now..."[1]
- When Bourbon reminds Vermouth of Scotch's code name, he shows a mysterious expression, which somewhat resembles a sorrowful look.
- When Shuichi mentions to Jodie and Camel about Bourbon's hatred for him, he recalls a scene when he and Bourbon were standing together, with blood splatters on their clothes, hinting at a sanguinary incident.[2] Additionally, when Camel asks Shuichi why there isn't any Scotch Whiskey in the house, despite the fact that he likes both Bourbon and Scotch, Shuichi answers that he only drinks Bourbon lately.[3] This is possibly an indication that Shuichi's aware of Scotch's demise. It may also hints that he, for some reasons, feels uneasy about it, thus stopped drinking Scotch.
Trivia
- Gosho Aoyama revealed in a postcard response to a fan that Scotch is not Wataru Date.[4]
