Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association (JSLMA) Reinforces Standards for Labeling Japanese Whisky With New Logo
The new logo features the letters “JW” in the middle, surrounded by “JAPANESE WHISKY” and “JSLMA”, representing the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association, inscribed on the head of a whisky cask. In Japan, the trademark registration application has been submitted to the Japan Patent Office, with plans to file similar applications in international markets.
JSLMA has also started taking steps aimed at the legal codification of its industry standards. To achieve this, the association will aim for the registration of “Japanese Whisky” for GI status, and consult with the Japan National Tax Agency on the establishment of “Labeling Standards for the Manufacturing Process and Quality of Japanese Whisky”, both under the Liquor Industry Association Act.
