Will A Whisky Ban Hurt Scotland?
It hasn't been the best year for the whisky industry, now whisky makers in Scotland have a boycott to worry about. People who are angry about Scotland's decision to free the terminally ill Lockerbie bomber are calling on U.S. citizens to boycott Scottish and British companies. A website called Boycott Scotland issues a call to action advocating a ban of Scottish products. The U.S. is Scotland's biggest trading partner. David Williamson of the Scottish Whiskey Association has said that he doesn't believe that there will be any long-term damage to the Scotland's whisky business. But the timing is unfortunate, Scotland is currently in the midst of a tourism push called "Year of Homecoming" which encourages anyone of Scottish descent to visit.
