Re: Pfft Camilla Send a noteboard - 26/01/2010 10:22:52 AM
Because Scotch means whiskey distilled in Scotland to most people and they are willing to pay more for that.


Or *cough* whisky, even.


How would I annoy Scottish and Irish people if I did that?}<img class=' />


That is just the point. Scottish people write whisky. Irish write whiskey. You don't want to be associated with the Irish swill, do you? (says Camilla, the whisky snob who hates the taste of either).

I was actually reading something about the whiskys Asia was churning out LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 03:20:30 PM 213 Views
It's a protected label in the EU Floffe - 25/01/2010 03:47:29 PM 363 Views
I still haven't decided if I approve of protected labels. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:41:45 PM 286 Views
Normally it would be a trade mark Floffe - 25/01/2010 04:56:59 PM 202 Views
No, I am not missing that. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:02:04 PM 176 Views
Partly snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:09:25 PM 189 Views
So then if a Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland... LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:32:42 PM 304 Views
But the Taiwanese brand doesn't meet the standards for Scotch. Rebekah - 25/01/2010 05:54:43 PM 212 Views
I mean the standards of taste and quality LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 06:52:10 PM 192 Views
But that's not really the point, is it? Rebekah - 25/01/2010 07:33:00 PM 179 Views
Just how I think about things then I think their body and substance is far more important. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 07:54:07 PM 237 Views
There's nothing snobby about protecting a brand which makes a lot of money for your country. Rebekah - 25/01/2010 04:03:45 PM 322 Views
I didn't say that it was snobby to do that. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:27:57 PM 220 Views

You still get my point. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:53:33 PM 180 Views
Why should they have to label it that? Floffe - 25/01/2010 04:59:13 PM 205 Views
Because Scotch indicates a type of Whisky, not ONLY its location. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:09:09 PM 186 Views
There is, as far as I'm aware, nothing stopping them from doing that. snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:13:14 PM 194 Views
And see, there's a difference in my mind. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:18:33 PM 198 Views
I guess so snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:21:19 PM 217 Views
I so knew someone was going to say something along those lines 9_9 LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:35:59 PM 202 Views
Now you have egg on your face snoopcester - 26/01/2010 11:30:31 AM 181 Views
You also should add that it is protecting the consumer snoopcester - 25/01/2010 04:34:22 PM 190 Views
again, though, there's no need to be rude LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:42:27 PM 196 Views
I imagine so snoopcester - 25/01/2010 04:58:40 PM 198 Views
yes, how dare people make their own scotch. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:14:58 PM 203 Views
They moved to Scotland to make it then? snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:20:10 PM 203 Views
