In the end, that is what matters, is it not? Is drinking scotch about enjoying scotch, or country pride? Because I'm pretty sure for most of the people who aren't Scottish, it's the former and not the latter.

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

Just how I think about things then

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