Comment | I think you capture the pertinent point - there's nothing wrong with calling it Scotch if you're not in Scotland, but when you're in Scotland it's a superfluous term, because obviously the local whisky is, by default, Scotch.
Just like if I went to a New York pizza joint and ordered a New York-style pizza, I'd sound a bit daft, because obviously it's New York-style pizza, I'm in New York. It's just pizza. |
