Scotch Whisky has become the first foreign product to be registered and protected as a "geographical indication of origin' (GI) in Turkey. This means consumers in Turkey will now receive better protection from fake "Scotch Whisky' as a result of the decision by authorities formally to recognise Scotch as a product that can only be made in Scotland.
GI registration supports the integrity of Scotch Whisky as a product made in Scotland according to the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009. Registration will make protection of Scotch Whisky through the courts considerably easier.
The problem of the availability of fake alcohol in Turkey was highlighted in June when Russian tourists in the Turkish Aegean resort of Bodrum were poisoned, resulting in some fatalities, after consuming illicitly-produced alcohol.
