Sorry but Morgan have put the Kybosh on the plan:
I quote:
Many thanks for your email regarding potential Morgan labels for whisky bottles.
I’m really sorry but I am going to have to stop you in your tracks on this one. As you know the Morgan wings is a registered trade mark, paid for at great expense to protect our wings logo from unauthorised use from third parties. We pay to cover many classes of goods but you should be aware that we were never able to secure the class for alcoholic drinks as there is a Morgan registration in place held by drinks makers, Diego, who own Captain Morgan rum etc.
As a result, we would be guilty of trade mark infringement if found to be producing products – or even labels – featuring the word mark MORGAN or the Morgan Wings Logo.
I’m sorry to disappoint you but I’m sure you understand our position.
With many thanks and kind regards
