Ha! Didn’t know that.
The yoichi you linked to above is single malt and from one of their Japanese distilleries. I’m actually a fan of Japanese blends, just not their prices, and helps that I like Ben Nevis too!
Irony is that because they use so much of Ben Nevis’ output in blends they struggle to put out an official bottling. Ended up with a weird situation where the distillery had to buy back their own stock.
Does also sound a bit like Swiss watches.
As a fun fact I know drinks by the dram have to a decant all their stuff into the little dram bottle in Scotland, in order to keep calling it scotch.
