END of the INDEPENDENT BOTTLER??

News from Whisky Advocate Magazine shocked the whisky world when independent bottler Gordon and MacPhail announced they will "halt new cask fillings starting in 2024 to focus on its own distilleries, Benromach and The Cairn. The company’s existing whisky stocks for independent bottlings will be depleted over the coming decades as it focuses on building its own single malt brands as part of a long–term growth strategy." Is this the beginning of the end of the Independent Bottler? Special guest James Bornn joins the Whisky Rant Podcast Ep 63.
