RICHMOND, Va. — A trade association is suing a Virginia distillery, claiming it is trying to pass off whiskey as Scotch.
In a federal lawsuit filed last week, the Scotch Whisky Association alleges the Virginia Distillery Co. has engaged in"false, misleading and deceptive" labelling of whiskey sold under the brand name"Virginia-Highland Whisky." The lawsuit claims the use of the term"Highland" and its spelling of"Whisky" falsely imply that the product is Scotch whisky wholly produced in Scotland.In a statement, CEO Gareth Moore said Virginia Distillery has always been upfront with its customers, with labels stating:"Whisky from Scotland, Married with Virginia Whisky." Moore said he's confident the complaint will be resolved.
