On a previous occasion I requested the distillery to desist from making this connection on the grounds that the estate does not wish Orwell’s name to be appropriated for any merchandising, and in any case there is no recorded connection between Orwell and this whisky. He is much more famous for celebrating a strong cup of tea.
