There is no 'barrel entry' involved.

Nice to see it being offered at 90 proof, too.<br /><br /><br />One question: will this make these particular barrels less attractive on the secondary market, or will someone come up with an even more creative use for them the second time around?sam knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-6218501369562067912011-02-15T17:51:37.785-06:002011-02-15T17:51:37.785-06:00It seems to be a corporate imperative.It seems to be a corporate imperative.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-1072234246769191082011-02-15T17:24:43.466-06:002011-02-15T17:24:43.466-06:00Wow, I may actually have to buy some Beam products...Wow, I may actually have to buy some Beam products. Chuck, any thoughts about why, after years of not doing any thing new, Beam is suddenly coming out with all of this stuff. Do you think pressure from you ando ther writers had something to do with it? Was it always part of the plan?Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12715522662816993370noreply@blogger.com
