Yes. Unlike many other products which were originally
manufactured only in a particular locality but which
have lost their geographical significance and can now be
manufactured anywhere, the word 'Scotch' as applied to
whisky has retained its geographical significance. This is
generally admitted throughout the world and is
recognised by law. Thus whisky may be described as
Scotch Whisky only if it has been wholly distilled and
matured in Scotland.
