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.

Just how I think about things then 
I think their body and substance is far more important.

There's nothing snobby about protecting a brand which makes a lot of money for your country.

Why should they have to label it that?

Because Scotch indicates a type of Whisky, not ONLY its location.

There is, as far as I'm aware, nothing stopping them from doing that.
