GH Scotch Flake

[64alex]

I am discovering GH Scotch flake one of the best flakes of GH. The reason I like is, in addition to the great Virginias, the wonderful chocolate casing (I love chocolate) which really tastes as natural chocolate. In this regard I consider Scotch flake much more chocolatish than Bob's chocolate.
I am wondering why GH called it Scotch given there is no Scotch in it but only chocolate casing as also said in the tobacco description by GH. Anybody knows this? I am just curious.

That's a good question. It's certainly not the same as a Scottish-style blend, which don't have chocolate. Or Scotch, as far as I know.

I vaguely remember one reviewer saying the scotch was actually reference to the adhesive smell of the tape and not whisky. I’m not familiar with either product but it might explain some of the chocolate notes ??‍

I wonder if it's a reference to the Scottish Flake style. Not entirely sure what that means, but Pease refers to it in his tin description for Fillmore. I assumed the Rattray's Virginia-based flakes, and maybe that's what GH&C are referring to, though Scotch Flake seems rather different to the Rattray's blends and/or Fillmore for that matter. That said, we all know how fluid these categories are.
