Jameson's loss I would think. An artist friend of mine ( Michael Thomsen) built a special display for the launch last week. Didn't make it and haven't tried it yet but will soon. If anyone one needs a bottle for their collection I'm sure I could find a way to get it to you.

Beautiful display case.
Another brand out there can only be good for the industry.
have you sampled any yet?

Apologies, but I just deleted the last comment on this thread. We probably should hold off on posting our own legal opinions here while a court case is ongoing. That might be over-cautious, but we are not defending free speech on this forum, just chatting about whiskey :)

Deleted my own stupid post - don't know what I was on about - to late, too little sleep and too many Bushmill 21s.

Here is the local news report on the subject. I'll refrain from commenting lest it be deleted.

I owe someone on this forum a bottle of 2 Gingers but lost account and email information if you could send your info again I have the bottle or 2 ready for shipping.

No problem David. I tent to rant when i come across these things. I'm a younger version of Mick the Bull from The Savage Eye or so I've been told.

So it hosted in the US.........Would that account for it always correcting my spelling? It humors me ;)

I better mention whiskey so..ammm Has anyone tried 2 Gingers? Can it be Irish?
