Fortunately there's laws covering what's allowed to be called Scotch 
Whisky - it has to be Whisky made and matured (for at *least* 3 years)

Yeah, well, malts.com lists their own brands, plus some major
competitors (which is why Highland Park is on there).

More worrying is that Michael Jackson doesn't list it.
