Scotch requires the malt grains to be mashed, fermented and distilled all at the same site in order for the drink to qualify for the classification. However, the English application only requires the whisky to be distilled at one site to receive “single malt” grade.

The row centres on geographical indication status and is a way of protecting a product’s name and quality based on its place of origin

The English Whisky Guild (EWG) has applied for Geographical Indication (GI) protection status to the UK Government. The protective status would give single malt English Whisky protection from “misuse or imitation”. It can apply to agricultural products, spirits, beer, wines, and other food and drink.

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

Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is considering applying for protected geographic status
