authenticity. Japan imported huge amounts of scotch and resold it under a different label. that's ok. but to have a Japanese citizen or Canadian open a distillery and make cheap grain (not malt) whisky and depend on a multitude of blends and call it scotch, is fraud. just like the Bourbon industry. My state of Maine has dozens of distilleries putting out "Bourbon" in a multitude of flavors some w/$400/$500. price tag. there is only one Bourbon county. same goes with charts. no ancient dead Japanese general is going to tell me how to trade AVXL.
