Cosa Nostra is a Scotch whisky brand that leans heavily into its provocative, gangster-inspired identity. The name references the infamous Sicilian criminal organisation, and this theme is carried through to the product's most striking feature: the bottle, which is shaped like a Tommy Gun — a replica of the vintage submachine gun that became iconic during the Prohibition era. The brand is distributed by Bartex Bartol and has been made available across various European markets. The core expression is a three-year-old blended Scotch whisky bottled at 40% ABV. As a young Scotch, it is positioned as an accessible, entry-level product where the packaging plays a central role in its appeal. The Tommy Gun bottle makes it a notable conversation piece and collectible item for whisky enthusiasts and spirits collectors alike. Cosa Nostra has not been without controversy. The UK drinks industry watchdog the Portman Group ruled against the brand, leading retailers to be asked to stop placing orders for the whisky. This ruling highlights the ongoing debate around responsible and appropriate branding in the spirits industry.
