India has granted 'geographical indication of origin' (GI) status to 'Scotch Whisky', a legal protection that formally recognises that as a product 'Scotch Whiskey' can only be made in Scotland. The grant of status will allow spirits produced in Scotland only to use the appellation 'Scotch Whisky' in their labels.
India is among the top ten export markets by volume for Scotch Whiskey. In 2010, 40.1 million bottles (700 ml) of Scotch Whiskey were exported to India, an increase of 40 per cent from 2009.
