It may be the way the world works, but that doesn't mean that everyone has to forget the previous position.<br /><br />And yes, that's the big question in my mind. There's no way they can tell the same story and it's going to take some creative minds to spin it in an effective fashion. But making good whisky at good prices is ultimately the most important thing to me. A good story is nice, but not necessary.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-27055012026007890632012-07-14T19:41:18.877-07:002012-07-14T19:41:18.877-07:00You should grab a bottle of the Laddie 10.

I was rooting for them as an indie because I enjoy seeing small businesses thrive. The products, the employees, and the locale seem(ed) so closely intertwined.<br /><br />SKU phrased it well in a tweet, saying that Bruichladdich may seem like the indie bad that complains about being oppressed by The Man, then signs with a major label. Made me think of Rage Against the Machine signing with Sony.<br /><br />To the point, what fascinates me is what story will the Remy marketing department tell now? Under their ownership, what is the Bruichladdich brand? And, of course, will they make good whisky that I can afford?Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-89308452390872091082012-07-13T10:53:44.533-07:002012-07-13T10:53:44.533-07:00Nice commentary.

They may lose a few whisky nerds along the way, but actually I'm fine as long as they A) continue to release "craft" whisky (rather than "branded") and B) stay active in the community and don't fire a bunch of "unnecessary" employees.Ryanhttp://valuewhisky.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
