Some of the brands include Chivas, Glenlivet and Ballantine's. Morrison Bowmore has brands certified by the London Beth Din, including McClelland's and Auchentoshan.<br />Kirsteen Beeston, of Morrison Bowmore, said the company had already written to West Dunbartonshire Council "to ensure it is made fully aware of the potential implications of its policy".<br />http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/50320/scottish-whisky-hit-boycott-threatIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024690260923786342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-80703958986454169322013-07-09T08:18:37.046+10:002013-07-09T08:18:37.046+10:00Indeed, David.

As best as can be established (the council doesn't keep records to monitor compliance with its own boycott) West Dunbartonshire council has never bought an Israeli product, making the BDS resolution a load of hot air. <br /><br />BTW West Dunbartonshire tops Scotland for unemployment due to the <a rel="nofollow">failure of the ship building industry</a>. You would think solving the Middle East's problems would be low on their list of priorities. David Guyhttp://5mfi.comnoreply@blogger.com
