I think that its a bit high and might for Lord Mountcharles to complain, I would seem that he was buying from different companies then rebranding and selling for $70 a bottle. handy way to make some money

Me thinks that Lord Mount C should have had some long term contracts in place. I can see his frustration, when he launched his product Beam were not on the horizon and the Irish Whiskey phenom was only in its early stages. (he can always have another concert or build his own distillery, after all does the Boyne not flow through his property and did not Finn McCool drink from it when he was a kid).
Beam will build on the success of Jameson Bushmills and Tullamore to find a new home for Cooley as a preferred brand. All they need is a media ambassador such as Neeson, Brosnan etc to endorse the product and Cooley will find its niche.
Go Cooley------:)

Off the topic but I only know one Lord. Don't get, don't like it and can't understand how someone born into a family declare someone a lord.
