Hi John, since this is my favourite Whisky i had t check this claim oot, after researching the STV and BBC web sites, its still open but closed for the summer. And my local Asda, Sainsbury and Tescos food/grocery stores have plenty on the shelves in Oxford. So lets not worry about any shortage as yet, only the outrageous TAX on whisky (last i heard 93%) which will change when Scotland becomes independent in 2 yrs time.
