One step longer away? I hope that this means a small chance that Cooley will restart selling all products and spending at least some PR-money here in Sweden again. Prob. not...

I wonder if Suntory will keep the brand. It opens up another market for them.

Here's another article about the take over

Interesting development. Will certainly open up the Japanese market. Probably certainly will keep the brand
so as to have that category covered which is one experiencing growth across the world. Another bottle & label
redesign for Kilbeggan ???? Does the plan to go head to head with Jameson in the American market get parked ??
Time will tell !
