Bruichladdich’s $90 million acquisition by Remy Cointreau was one of the biggest whisky stories of the year, and CEO Simon Coughlin joins us for this week’s “In-Depth” segment to discuss what’s changed…and what hasn’t since the deal. In the news, Maker’s Mark faces a controversy over allegations of discrimination at a downtown Louisville lounge that licenses the Maker’s Mark name, Bulleit unveils a new 10-year-old Bourbon in Kansas, Suntory’s ready to go shopping, and Scotland’s Isle of Harris will be getting its first legal whisky distillery.
