Real Estate / Land Around Krakow, Poland - how to find it? [22]
I would be very cautious on using agencies in Krakow. Unless you are willing to pay over the odds for a generally poor service.

Not really, any trace of foriegn buyers will stop the deal. Though i have heard of one invester having the land put into a polish lawyers name untill the law changes in a few years. Though its not something i'd recommend with the kind of money land costs around Krakow.

Exactly tornado. One of Scotland's biggest produces of whisky is now in the hands of the polish, im not too sure but i will find out. by buying in "scottish" whisky, then maturing it in poland, they are able to lable the bottles as Scotch. in their country only. now we get into difficult patent laws. By law Scotch can only be made in Scotland. But this factory is importing scottish whisky.
That makes me angry, as a true scottish whisky lover, where do we cross the line?
This company owns Famous Grouse, one of the most famous scottish brewery's. Famous im not to concerned with, But famous own the right to Macallan...one of Scotlands most guarded secrets. A true whisky dated back to the 13th cent...and this company want to mass produce this Whisky.

Ok, so the both of you have argued passionately about it. Is it Scotch? on the bottle it says 40%, but to my taste, its more like 35% i also get no background taste.... Plus should such a widely known product (whisky) be protected by law? and why?

I think you will find she is agreeing with you;) For example spring water. all spring water in the uk must be named after the spring. Legally. If 2 springs are in the same area, usually there will be a battle between both companies about who can sell it.
Same is with Whisky. More exact Scotch, there are loop holes in the law, but generally, Scotch must be from Scotland. No if, buts or maybe's:)
hang on a minute, what happens to produce that i made in the UK and then exported, that sits in other countries. For example if cheese is made in the UK and then exported what do they put on the label, English mature cheddar matured in England/Poland, lol??? Come on if its made in Scotland then its Scottish?? no??

Do you talk about alcoholic proof? or true proof?
Well yes it can. This is the point im trying to make, that even under this law, alot of brewery's are still calling it scotch. In Krakow, the most popular whisky is.... mr walker...and whats on the label...."scotch Whisky"
What is the proof on the label? Above or below 40%?

Then it can't be called a Scotch.

Tornado is right, when the product says "scotch" under international law it or one of its main ingredients needs to be made in Scotland.
Misty is also right to say that its main product can be made in Scotland, but matured in Poland. Technically its still Scottish, just "rested" in Poland.
I havethe answer now, but it seems a fun "game" to find out why it is sold here as a Polish "Scottish" whisky:) - Which to me, makes it fake.

for a decent 100 year old whisky, your looking into many thousands. For example, i sampled a glass once which was around that age...to be told it was worth over 5k! The problem i have with it, is that it actually tastes quite good. But if it is made in Poland....the term Scotch cannot legally be used on the bottle.

Yesterday evening i was looking at getting some samples of good whisky to give to some clients of mine. One of the samples i was given was this. The sales rep told me it was made in Poland...whisky...Poland....surely?
It is called "Dark Whisky", but on the front it is written. "Blended Scotch Whisky, distilled and matured in Scotland"
Then i checked the back, to see that it has the address of Zielona Góra S.A
Anyone heard of this rip off?
