Bristol distillery apologises over 'Novichok' vodka |
2018-07-11 |
[BBC] A distillery that released a 75% ABV vodka range named after the toxic nerve agent Novichok has been heavily criticised for its "tasteless" timing. One person has died and another remains critically ill in hospital after being exposed to the substance in Wiltshire. Bristol Dry Gin said the release timing of its 75% alcohol by volume (ABV) product "may have lacked sensitivity", the Bristol Post reported. Members of the public have criticised the company on its Facebook page. David Gilroy wrote: "Sorry, I think that is in very poor taste naming a gin after something that is still a very serious situation." And Peter Hooper said: "Pretty poor taste, an innocent woman has died and a man is critically ill, I think you need to rethink your sales strategy." |
