Thatch Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Has anyone heard of this? We are being asked to do some blending, bottling and labeling but I cannot find anything on this type of spirit. I couldn't find anything that was close in CLASS AND TYPE DESIGNATIONS. Any information would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMurack Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 No such thing. Scotch can only be produced in Scotland, Bourbon:U.S. Depending on the blending ratios you would be creating either a blended whiskey, or a blended bourbon whiskey, from my understanding of the standards of identity.

Silk City Distillers Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Shame you couldn't blend in some beer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAndy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 High West Campfire is one example, check out their label for clues. I imagine it was submitted as a distilled specialty https://www.highwest.com/products/high-west-whiskey-campfire.php Tell your client that "Burch" is a totally stupid name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZdrinking Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 There is also a whisky called Virginia Highland that blended US whiskey (malt?) and Scotch. The Scotch association went after them claiming the Highland portion of their name was geographically misleading. Since Scotch has to be bottled in Scotland you may have to be creative with how you describe the spirit. And in terms of class/type it might just end up as just whisky, blended whisky or whisky specialty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed they're still using that name on an entire product line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product line is now called VHW and once they sell out / run out of labels they have to drop 'Highlands' from each product. https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2019/08/virginia-distillery-drops-highland-after-swa-lawsuit/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
