Michael Collins Blended Irish Whiskey is no longer available due to Beam’s Acquisition of the Cooley distillery a few years ago. When they did they cut off almost everyone from being able to bottle Cooley whiskey as their own, thus striking a big blow to NDPs like Sidney Frank Importing Co. who bottled and imported the Michael Collins line.

This abrupt cutting off of the supply drove an immediate demand in brands like Michael Collins back in 2013 when Beam / Suntory cut off the outgoing supply of Cooley whiskey to NDPs. Almost over night bottles of this whiskey, and others, disappeared from shelves as fans stockpiled the whiskey to get them through the impending shortage while importers, distributors and Beam / Suntory battled it out in court. The end result is easy to see because Michael Collins is still MIA from store shelves everywhere.
