'Glen' signifies Scottish whisky only, EU court advises
By EUOBSERVER
Using the word "Glen" (which means valley in Gaelic), could be restricted to whisky produced in Scotland so as not to confuse consumers, the EU court of justice said on Thursday in a case where a Hamburg court had asked for advice. The Scotch Whisky Association had taken a German whisky labelled "Glen Buchenbach" to the Hamburg court. It must now weigh the EU court's advice before ruling.
