What!?!!

CBC:

Scotch connoisseurs in New Brunswick may need to find a new drink of choice to wash away the following bad news.

Johnnie Walker, Bell's Extra Special and J&B Rare, along with eight single malt scotches, are being pulled off of New Brunswick liquor store shelves as the distributor is looking to take the products elsewhere.

Dana Clendenning, president and chief executive officer of NB Liquor, said most Canadian provinces will soon be out of these brands of scotch as Diageo, the world's largest spirit supplier, is redirecting its products to more profitable markets in China, Russia and India.

"They advised us that due to limited supply they are reallocating their scotches to other markets that are more profitable to them, including Asian markets and India. This isn't the situation unique to NB Liquor, they are doing it to most, if not all liquor jurisdictions in Canada," Clendenning said.

...

The single malt bottles that are on their way out of New Brunswick include Glenkinchie, Dalwhinnie, Talisker, Cragganmore, Oban, Lagavulin, Brora and Clynelish.

Clendenning said the corporation is now replacing the missing bottles with additional brands of Ballantines, Teachers, Famous Grouse, Chivas, Grant's and new lines from Famous Grouse Black, Famous Grouse 30 and Dewar White Label.

The JW and Bell's can go, but seriously, you cannot replace premier-league single-malts such as Talisker or Lagavulin with [ob]noxious blends like fucking Teachers or Famous Grouse. Goddamn capitalism. First it destroys my planet and impoverishes billions, now it won't even let me have a decent drink to numb the pain of it all.
