Booze sales

Changes to Labelling Law

 Changes regarding the protection of Scotch Whisky, particularly the Single Malt Category will become UK law on Nov. 23. Interesting, as most fakes are supposed Blends, many of which are bottled abroad. Does that make sense ?

 

John' 50 Year bottling

My 50th anniversary bottling of being in the trade; there are a few bottles of this ultra mini Ltd. Edition remaining.These will become collectors items some day!

Wensleydale Cheese

Exports of Wensleydale cheese from Yorkshire have increased by 15% over the past 12 months, principally to the Middle East and the USA. Great !!! Nothing finer than a dram of young Bowmore and a piece of Wensleydale Blue....Heaven!!!  

 

Finishes

Protection of Single Malts is at the top of the industry's priorities. If so, it would be good to know the industry's innermost thoughts about many of the "wood finishes" Currently in Vogue

What got you into this business ?

Fate!

 

Have you ever had cause to regret joining the whisky business ?

No, not really, although I've had one or two hiccups and also some indigestion along the route!! However most people have that I imagine.

 

    Why do you bother at your age with work. Would you not prefer to take it easy ?

   Firstly, I need to work in order to try fulfil some of my dreams and also to have a decent standard of living. If the day comes when I cease enjoying what I do, I will stop, no doubt about that.
