Scottish whisky makers oppose UK plans allowing English distilleries to label whisky as "single malt," fearing damage to Scotch whisky's reputation.

“It would be very damaging for the reputation of single malt whisky from the UK, and by extension single malt scotch whisky, if English whiskies were allowed to describe spirit as ‘single malt’ despite being produced in a different manner to the established process and long-standing traditions of the scotch whisky industry,” the SWA said.
