Now you have egg on your face snoopcester Send a noteboard - 26/01/2010 11:30:31 AM
your nitpicking has nothing to do with what I was saying.


It fits what I'm saying perfectly though - duck's produce duck eggs and Scotland produces Scotch. Chicken's can't produce duck eggs, no matter what size, shape, taste etc those eggs have, and Taiwan can't produce scotch, no matter what is put into it or what it tastes like. The reason being that chickens aren't ducks and Taiwan isn't Scotland.
It is a regional name and the only reason non-Scottish producers want to be able to claim to produce Scotch is to mislead consumers who want to buy whiskey distilled in Scotland. Instead, they should be honest and put their efforts into promoting their own product, not trying to mislead people about it and cash in on a reputation others have earnt.

I was actually reading something about the whiskys Asia was churning out - 25/01/2010 03:20:30 PM 289 Views
It's a protected label in the EU - 25/01/2010 03:47:29 PM 440 Views
I still haven't decided if I approve of protected labels. - 25/01/2010 04:41:45 PM 359 Views
Normally it would be a trade mark - 25/01/2010 04:56:59 PM 275 Views
No, I am not missing that. - 25/01/2010 05:02:04 PM 252 Views
Partly - 25/01/2010 05:09:25 PM 260 Views
So then if a Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland... - 25/01/2010 05:32:42 PM 389 Views
But the Taiwanese brand doesn't meet the standards for Scotch. - 25/01/2010 05:54:43 PM 282 Views
I mean the standards of taste and quality - 25/01/2010 06:52:10 PM 274 Views
But that's not really the point, is it? - 25/01/2010 07:33:00 PM 252 Views
There's nothing snobby about protecting a brand which makes a lot of money for your country. - 25/01/2010 04:03:45 PM 411 Views
I didn't say that it was snobby to do that. - 25/01/2010 04:27:57 PM 303 Views

You still get my point. - 25/01/2010 04:53:33 PM 248 Views
Why should they have to label it that? - 25/01/2010 04:59:13 PM 275 Views
Because Scotch indicates a type of Whisky, not ONLY its location. - 25/01/2010 05:09:09 PM 263 Views
There is, as far as I'm aware, nothing stopping them from doing that. - 25/01/2010 05:13:14 PM 273 Views
And see, there's a difference in my mind. - 25/01/2010 05:18:33 PM 272 Views
I guess so - 25/01/2010 05:21:19 PM 290 Views
I so knew someone was going to say something along those lines 9_9 - 25/01/2010 05:35:59 PM 276 Views
Now you have egg on your face - 26/01/2010 11:30:31 AM 254 Views
You also should add that it is protecting the consumer - 25/01/2010 04:34:22 PM 264 Views
again, though, there's no need to be rude - 25/01/2010 04:42:27 PM 266 Views
I imagine so - 25/01/2010 04:58:40 PM 277 Views
yes, how dare people make their own scotch. - 25/01/2010 05:14:58 PM 272 Views
They moved to Scotland to make it then? - 25/01/2010 05:20:10 PM 274 Views
