It would, for one thing, be superfluous to have your people there 'supervising,' since the contractor knows what it's doing.

From what I was told, the U.S. 1 bourbon/rye and Sour Mash that are on the shelves these days are produced this way. I can't remember when he said the 10+ year product will be his own juice, but it is within the next year or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-91729859536911228132014-10-26T06:17:40.138-05:002014-10-26T06:17:40.138-05:00Time for a nice helping of crow...Time for a nice helping of crow...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-76308695873223851442014-10-24T23:14:37.459-05:002014-10-24T23:14:37.459-05:00Hey, I sort of forgot about the new Wild Turkey st...Hey, I sort of forgot about the new Wild Turkey still...sorry.Sam Komlenicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-21145336226232227682014-10-24T13:08:46.216-05:002014-10-24T13:08:46.216-05:00Agreed, Chuck.

They have been doing exceptional work with their sourced whiskeys, including the new Toasted Barrel expression, and now they'll be ramping up the biggest new American distillery to date.<br /><br />Also, in the video you'll note the effort they put into the design of that doubler. A beautiful thing! <br /><br />I look forward to my next visit to Louisville and their operating distillery!Sam Komlenicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-54501987638714013682014-10-23T19:34:20.915-05:002014-10-23T19:34:20.915-05:00Potemkin or not, I have been a huge fan of several...Potemkin or not, I have been a huge fan of several of their NDP products.
