There were *no* laws defining Scotch whisky before the European Union arose? That seems unlikely, given how long the Scots have been making the stuff.
Sounds like just another case of spurious "news" calculated to cause hand-wringing over Brexit.

Of course you are right.
In the olden days in Charlotte.
You could brew single malt “scotch”
“Champaigne”
And, let’s not get into cheeses.
I am not sure what I think about “regional” trademarks legally enforced.
Well, actually I do.
If you want to make single malt “scotch” in LA have at it.
People who want the “real thing” will know how to get it and pay the premium.

This Keith Brown fellow is in the Scottish National Party, which has socialist ideology (won’t go into nationalism + socialism). Their stance is the oxymoronic notion of an “independent” Scotland being a member of the EU.
