BRUICHLADDICH TO BE SOLD TO FRENCH REMY COINTREAU GROUP
Latest news off the rumors mill is that Bruichladdich is to be sold to French Cognac and Liqueur producer - the Remy Cointreau group.
The Remy Cointreau group is after Bruichladdich because of the potential in Asian markets:
"It's a brand with strong potential for development because it is in the segment at the top of the market and complements our portfolio. The addition of a top brand would be in line with the strategy pursued by Remy Cointreau to focus on premium alcoholic drinks, which are in particular demand in Asia."

KININVIE DISTILLERY TO RESTART PRODUCTION
Rumor has it that Kininvie Distillery on the outskirts of Dufftown, the very much unknown Glenfiddich and Balvenie triplet, is going to restart production later this year in September, after being silent for some time.
Its a distillery thats not normally open to the public and it usually only opens its door on special occasions like the Spirit of Speyside Festival. Its very much a production distillery to visit, with absolutely no visitors luxuries - the distillery even has its washbacks in the same room as neighbouring Balvenie, very much showing its relations to both Glenfiddich and Balvenie in that way.
Lets wish them a good (spirit) run when reopening!
