I think I would take exception to Kentucky Bourbon being made in China. I don't think they should even be able to call it Bourbon unless it is from that region.
They can call their whiskey single malt or double malt or whatever to imply that it is like Scotch but they shouldn't be able to call it Scotch.

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

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.

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.
