I imagine so snoopcester Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 04:58:40 PM
all i was saying was a great many people were being QUITE rude.


I would consider it quite rude if I was a Scottish whiskey manufacturer as well. It must be really annoying and even insulting to have people presume they can freeload off the reputation that Scotland has built up for making good whiskey.

But the Taiwanese brand doesn't meet the standards for Scotch. - 25/01/2010 05:54:43 PM 318 Views
I mean the standards of taste and quality - 25/01/2010 06:52:10 PM 310 Views
But that's not really the point, is it? - 25/01/2010 07:33:00 PM 291 Views

You still get my point. - 25/01/2010 04:53:33 PM 282 Views
Why should they have to label it that? - 25/01/2010 04:59:13 PM 313 Views
Because Scotch indicates a type of Whisky, not ONLY its location. - 25/01/2010 05:09:09 PM 306 Views

You also should add that it is protecting the consumer - 25/01/2010 04:34:22 PM 306 Views
again, though, there's no need to be rude - 25/01/2010 04:42:27 PM 308 Views
I imagine so - 25/01/2010 04:58:40 PM 322 Views
yes, how dare people make their own scotch. - 25/01/2010 05:14:58 PM 314 Views
