Legal angle: “whisky” is a protected geographical indication, reserved for
Scotland. But such GIs are generally not recognized in the US, so an American
producer can call his whiskey “whisky”, but will not be able to sell it in the
EU or in many other countries with which the EU has agreements to recognize
each other’s GIs.
