Because Scotch means whiskey distilled in Scotland to most people and they are willing to pay more for that.
Or *cough* whisky, even.

It's a protected label in the EU

I still haven't decided if I approve of protected labels.

No, I am not missing that.

So then if a Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland...

But the Taiwanese brand doesn't meet the standards for Scotch.

I mean the standards of taste and quality

But that's not really the point, is it?

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.

I didn't say that it was snobby to do that.

You still get my point.

Why should they have to label it that?
25/01/2010 04:59:13 PM

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.

You also should add that it is protecting the consumer

again, though, there's no need to be rude
