About this deal

Chair of the Independent Complaints Panel, Nicola Williams, said: “In light of rising gun crime in the UK, it is deeply irresponsible of an alcohol producer to glamorise firearms and market a product in this form. The whisky is produced by Bartex Bartol, which has a history of bottling its spirits in gun-shaped vessels. In 2014, Bartex Bartol manufactured a “Red Army Vodka,” which the complaints panel in 2014 deemed “entirely inappropriate,” according to in Beverage Daily.

Breach of guidelines, namely that drinks “should not suggest any association with bravado, or with violent, aggressive, dangerous, anti-social or illegal behaviour” Complainant: We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.A complaint was upheld under that rule, with the independent panel finding the product’s bottle was in the shape of a Thompson ‘Tommy’ gun, creating a direct link between the drink and a dangerous weapon.

It also said that the drink’s name, Cosa Nostra, was the name of a well-known faction of the Italian Mafia – further linking the whisky to violent behaviour and criminal activity. Commenting on the Cosa Nostra decision, the Chair of the Portman Group’s Independent Complaints Panel, Nicola Williams, said: “In light of rising gun crime in the UK, it is deeply irresponsible of an alcohol producer to glamorise firearms and market a product in this form.

According to Gun Violence Archive, there have been more than 375 mass shootings in the U.S. this year.It was one of only seven issued between 2015 and 2020 and is the most serious sanciton the Portman Group can apply.
