Maybe they'll give it to Beam. That won't help Maker's supply issues but if Beam uses it, the extra supply still drops to the bottom line. Maybe they'll use it with Old Crow, which could use a little more wood.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-90995835299381039442013-05-31T16:08:20.685-05:002013-05-31T16:08:20.685-05:00Maker's Mark plans leave me concerned regardin...<br />Maker's Mark plans leave me concerned regarding finished bourbon.<br /><br />First time I toured the distillery the Tasting Room served four samples.....<br /><br />White Dog, Mature Maker's Mark, Over Aged Maker's Mark, and Maker's Mark 46.<br /><br />Over Aged Maker's picked up too much wood.<br /><br />Jim Beam Devil's Cut picks up darker color and additional wood.<br /><br />Published plans to cut proof backfired.<br /><br />Published plans to extract additional alcohol could also backfire.<br /><br />Time to leave the bourbon alone.<br /><br />Allocate 750ML's to distributors and retailers while keeping the bourbon at premium quality.<br /><br />Maker's Mark could wind up like Coca-Cola.......<br /><br />Change from premium sugar cane soft drink to lower quality sugar fructose soft drink.<br /><br />Loose quality and reputation.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-65380552342163016222013-05-31T15:40:46.253-05:002013-05-31T15:40:46.253-05:00Excellent reporting and observations.

For our project, it has been a delicate dance of negotiations between state and local government, and being restrained about what we release as to keep everyone informed, but not jeopardize negotiation positions. <br /><br />It is a huge challenge, but thankfully, there appears to be daylight at the end of the tunnel.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602393080047100068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-70923468485806717262013-05-31T15:34:11.878-05:002013-05-31T15:34:11.878-05:00Ah well.
