| Quote: | | "However, it is difficult to see Bruichladdich making a huge difference to Remy Cointreau's bottom line," they added. "Bruichladdich's 2011 sales of 8.7 million pounds would equate to approximately 1 percent of group turnover" in 2012. |
But they may have ideas of expanding and will have the money to do so quickly. |

| I am sure we wont see anywhere near as many of the interesting limited releases if Bruichladdich ends up in a big companies hands. |

I agree, but as Kenny says i am sure we will see a less limited releases in the hands of a big company. Although it would be good to see more Port Charlotte or even a Port Charlotte distillery. |

Totally agree, i hope they get a big pay day after investing there own money with no guarantee of success and they now leave us (if they do sell) with a decent single malt which could have been gone forever. |
