History

Herbert was the last to leave office on that fateful day. The business had been sold, and the old employees had lost their jobs.

Bagpiper used to be one of the topmost whisky brands in the country. The ads were popular with its punchline of “Me, You and Bagpiper”, and many actors strengthened their popularity with this epic promotion. Related products like club soda were launched to bypass the ban on liquor advertising, and keep the brand alive. Yet, it was overtaken by another upcoming brand, and the owner, Angus decided to sell the business.

Herbert had picked up this picture from the office, before he left. He was the only one to remember, that the brand name originated from the business run by Angus McDowell’s father in Scotland. He owned a shop which sold bagpipes.
