The Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009

[CMcG]

I came across the legal definition of Scotch whisky today and thought that some of my fellow Xmarkers may be interested in it. The PDF document is freely available from the UK government's website:

Very interesting! They've come a long way since the "What is Whisky?" case.

EXCELLENT! Glad to know; glad to keep as a reference. Thanks.

Curious. Reflections of US prohibition (hinted within some of the wording) come to mind. I was proud to see the large list of distilleries and the definition of the "Highland / Lowland" geographic dividing line.
