  • 'Jameson Caskmates', Het Resultaat Van Een Unieke
    23 november 2016 PERSBERICHT ‘JAMESON CASKMATES’, HET RESULTAAT VAN EEN UNIEKE AMBACHTELIJKE SAMENWERKING, IS NU WERELDWIJD VERKRIJGBAAR Bekijk het filmpje over Jameson Caskmates op: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSbUErfAMu0 Vorig jaar introduceerde Jameson een beperkt aantal flessen Jameson Caskmates op de Ierse markt. Het grote succes ervan overtuigde het merk om de Jameson Caskmates flessen nu wereldwijd op de markt te brengen. Dit uniek ambachtelijk product wordt gemaakt door Midleton Distillery in samenwerking met microbrouwerij Franciscan Well Brewery uit Cork en biedt een nieuwe smaakervaring aan alle whiskeyliefhebbers, Jameson-drinkers en fans van ambachtelijk bier. Het verhaal van Jameson Caskmates begon in 2013, toen de meester-distilleerder van Jameson, Brian Nation, en meester in whiskeywetenschappen Dave Quinn in een bar in Cork de stichter en hoofdbrouwer van Franciscan Well ontmoetten, Shane Long. De meesters van Jameson leenden enkele Jameson-vaten uit aan de brouwerij om te achterhalen welke invloed ze hadden op het Ierse donkere bier stout. Toen de vaten waarin het bier had gerijpt aan Midleton Distillery werden teruggegeven, vulde Dave Quinn ze opnieuw met Jameson Irish whiskey. Na verloop van tijd ontstond een nieuwe smaaksensatie: Jameson Caskmates. Jameson Caskmates, het resultaat van nieuwsgierigheid, samenwerking en innovatie, behoudt de drievoudig gedistilleerde zachte smaak van Jameson Original, waaraan toetsen koffie, cacao, butterscotch en een vleugje hop zijn toegevoegd. Jameson Caskmates komt wereldwijd op de markt en speelt in op de bestaande interesse van consumenten voor ambachtelijk bier en whiskey, aangezien het beide combineert tot een uitzonderlijk veelzijdige drank. Jameson Caskmates kan puur, on the rocks, in combinatie met bier of in cocktails op basis van bier worden geserveerd.

Immediately upon the scheme becoming effective2, Pernod Ricard will sell certain Allied Domecq businesses and assets together with Pernod Ricard's existing Larios brands to Fortune Brands, Inc. ("Fortune Brands")3. Allied Domecq's wines and spirits production and distribution business and assets include: a. wine brands in New Zealand that are primarily owned and marketed by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Allied Domecq Wines (New Zealand) Limited4 (“Allied Domecq (NZ)”); and 1 A separate application will be submitted by Fortune Brands, Inc. in respect of its acquisition of certain Allied Domecq plc brands and assets. Given that the two transactions are not inter- conditional, it has been accepted in other jurisdictions that two separate applications should be made. 2 The scheme of arrangement is expected to become effective on 26 July 2005. 3 On the date on which the scheme of arrangement becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), Fortune Brands will acquire the economic interest in, and managerial control over, those Allied Domecq brands it will acquire (the “Fortune Assets”), with full title to those brands passing within 6 months.

  • Former President of Domeco Importers Inc. Indicted on Money
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2000 (202) 514-2007 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 FORMER PRESIDENT OF DOMECQ IMPORTERS INC. INDICTED ON MONEY LAUNDERING, TAX EVASION, MAIL FRAUD, AND CONSPIRACY CHARGES WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A Manhattan federal grand jury today indicted Michael Domecq, the former president and co-owner of Domecq Importers Inc., for participating in a scheme to divert more than $14 million from the company into personal offshore bank accounts, the Department of Justice announced. The eight-count Indictment, filed today in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, charges Michael Domecq with two counts of conspiracy, two counts of money laundering, one count of money laundering conspiracy, one count of mail fraud, and two counts of income tax evasion. Previously, three former top executives of Domecq Importers--chief operating officer Alfredo Valdes, vice president of marketing Gabriel Sagaz, and vice president of sales Thomas Kaminsky-- pleaded guilty to charges related to the same conspiracy. In addition, two outside vendors of advertising and display materials, Mary Burke and Alvin Appel, have also pleaded guilty to related offenses. Today’s case developed as a result of evidence uncovered during the Antitrust Division’s prosecutions of bid-rigging, commercial bribery, and tax-related offenses in the point-of-purchase advertising and display industry. To date, 28 individuals and nine corporations have already pleaded guilty to various federal charges associated with the Division’s ongoing investigation. Earlier prosecutions have involved personnel at Hiram Walker & Sons Inc. (Southfield, Mich.), - 2 - Philip Morris Inc. (N.Y.), Heublein Inc. (Farmington, Conn.), Warner-Lambert Co.
