I would suggest that it is NOT true, because if it had actually happened it would be a part of the shrill and hysterical cacophony that we've been hearing from the Left: "Bush Administration Harassing Tiny Scottish Distillery!!" "Religious Zealots In Bush Administration Spying On Distillery On Terror Pretext!!!" "Bush's Secret Service Thugs Make War on Distillery!!!" etc. etc.

My guess mirrors that of many posters on this thread so far, in that it's most likely the product of a marketing / advertising brainstorm session fuelled by some 'special reserve' Single Malt :-)

I think you're right. Great answer -- thanks.
