Diageo has done as they threatened. They are closing the Johnnie Walker
plant in Kilmarnock. I have personally made a vow to never down another Diageo owned beverage. This is a difficult vow to
keep since it includes such famous brands as Guiness, V-O Brandy, Dom Perignon & Moet champagnes, Hennesey cognac, Gilbey's
, Gordons, and Tanqueray gin, Baileys & Godiva liquers (& others), José Cuervo Golden Margarita, Smirnoff Ice &
Smirnoff, Captain Morgan Rum, Don Julio
and José Cuervo tequila, and the following whisky/whiskies:
Bell's, Benmore, Buchanan's, Bulleit Bourbon,Bushmills, Black &
White, Cardhu, Crown Royal, Crown Royal XR, Dimple/ Pinch,George Dickel, Haig, and the following classic malts: Caol Ila, Cardhu, Clynelish, Cragganmore, Dalwhinnie, Glen Elgin, Glen Ord, Glenkinchie, Knockando, Lagavulin, Oban, Royal Lochnagar, Talisker
Plus the following wines:
Barton & Guestier
Beaulieu Vineyard
Blossom Hill
