Not really - a lot of Scotch whisky production is large scale industrial operations owned by very large companies such as Diageo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diageo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diageo When I was a student (many years ago) I used to work in the summers at a very large industrial maltings that supplied malt to a lot of the "quality" whisky brands.
