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.

It's a protected label in the EU

I still haven't decided if I approve of protected labels.

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

I mean the standards of taste and quality

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.

I didn't say that it was snobby to do that.

Why should they have to label it that?
25/01/2010 04:59:13 PM

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.
