Don't know the makeup details of bourbon vs. scotch, but I do know that bourbon generally hits its peak age at about 7 or 8 years, after which extra aging has no real effect on it, and perhaps hurts it. Whereas scotch can be aged like wine, forever and a day, and just have its character build and build.
Also, in terms of flavor, bourbon has a sweet, caramelish odor and flavor underneath the sharp alcohol taste, while scotch is not sweet at all generally, and has some level of smokiness to it, depending on the amount of peat used.
