"galinked" -- I AM one of the people behind the origins of The Independent Distillery, and I assure you that none of us have "taken our names away from the place" at our own accord. The people "now running the place" are the same people who started it WITH US, and it's a travesty how things have ended up. So, yes... I CAN tell you that the information that the General Manager, Ben Haynes, gave to the writer was untrue, as he intended to paint himself as someone far more important that he really was. He's the GM. Nothing more. And, I absolutely do NOT blame the writer. In fact, I would love nothing more than to vindicate him from the backlash he received from this portion of the article, for he wrote what he was told. The writer did his job and did nothing wrong. His coverage of the other distilleries was outstanding, and I couldn't be more proud of them for their success.
