The 'Pure Malt' - which was a readily used description of malt whisky which was not from a 'single' distillery - The story goes that other whisky producers, jealous of Cardhu's large market-share, raised the matter very publicly with the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA). The row that ensued lead to Cardhu reverting to being a Single Malt again, and to the SWA reviewing the use of such descriptors as 'Pure' or 'Vatted' Malts, which were until now in common usage.

The new description of 'Blended Malt' is also proving controversial with some saying that it will lead to such products being confused with 'Blended Whisky' which includes less expensive Grain whisky as well as Malt Whisky.
