Take a look at our guide on how to spot fake Scotch Whisky, and how to report it to the SWA Legal Affairs team

The SWA Legal Affairs team cannot visit every market worldwide. The team relies on information from the SWA's member companies, its international network of lawyers and investigators and members of the public to alert them to problems so that prompt legal action can be taken.

If you come across a suspicious product or you have concerns about whiskies on sale in any country, please contact us. Your help with the vital task of protecting Scotch Whisky is greatly appreciated.

The SWA's Legal Affairs team will need to know the identity and location of the seller of the brand you are concerned about. If possible, images of the products would be very helpful.

Take a look at our guide on how to spot fake Scotch Whisky, and how to contact the Scotch Whisky Association Legal Affairs team with details of suspicious products.
