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 373 Views
It's a protected label in the EU Floffe - 25/01/2010 03:47:29 PM 530 Views
I still haven't decided if I approve of protected labels. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:41:45 PM 447 Views
Normally it would be a trade mark Floffe - 25/01/2010 04:56:59 PM 359 Views
No, I am not missing that. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:02:04 PM 333 Views
Partly snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:09:25 PM 342 Views
So then if a Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland... LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:32:42 PM 471 Views
But the Taiwanese brand doesn't meet the standards for Scotch. Rebekah - 25/01/2010 05:54:43 PM 356 Views
I mean the standards of taste and quality LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 06:52:10 PM 356 Views
But that's not really the point, is it? Rebekah - 25/01/2010 07:33:00 PM 329 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 391 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 512 Views
I didn't say that it was snobby to do that. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:27:57 PM 388 Views

You still get my point. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:53:33 PM 321 Views
Why should they have to label it that? Floffe - 25/01/2010 04:59:13 PM 356 Views
Because Scotch indicates a type of Whisky, not ONLY its location. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:09:09 PM 350 Views
There is, as far as I'm aware, nothing stopping them from doing that. snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:13:14 PM 357 Views
And see, there's a difference in my mind. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:18:33 PM 357 Views
I guess so snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:21:19 PM 368 Views
I so knew someone was going to say something along those lines 9_9 LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:35:59 PM 357 Views
Now you have egg on your face snoopcester - 26/01/2010 11:30:31 AM 342 Views
You also should add that it is protecting the consumer snoopcester - 25/01/2010 04:34:22 PM 349 Views
again, though, there's no need to be rude LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 04:42:27 PM 352 Views
I imagine so snoopcester - 25/01/2010 04:58:40 PM 364 Views
yes, how dare people make their own scotch. LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 05:14:58 PM 354 Views
They moved to Scotland to make it then? snoopcester - 25/01/2010 05:20:10 PM 354 Views
