There have been over 140 books on John D Rockefeller, since 1950 alone. And 6 on Tim Hortons. You would think more would come out. I would read one on SoCo.<br /><br />RickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-55200925944178680522015-01-30T21:42:39.285-06:002015-01-30T21:42:39.285-06:00When Brown-Forman bought Southern Comfort they ret...When Brown-Forman bought Southern Comfort they retained a few people, not many. They closed and sold the factory and office building. The coolest asset was a 'retreat center' out in the country, outside of St Louis. It had ball fields and other recreational facilities, a large lodge, and I'm not sure what else. (I was there just once.) They closed and sold that too. There were no other brands or, if there were, Brown-Forman discontinued or sold them. The first Brown-Forman brand manager for Southern Comfort was David Higgins, who passed away recently.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-12251581443552499702015-01-30T18:09:01.588-06:002015-01-30T18:09:01.588-06:00I have been waiting for this kind of post for week...I have been waiting for this kind of post for weeks. new reader, but did not want to comment on old posts, and did not want to hijack another post. and, of course, I forgot most of my questions.<br /><br />But, one I do remember, is, when talking about Southern Comfort, you (and other people elsewhere have stressed) that Brown-Forman didn't just buy the liqueur in 1979, but THE WHOLE COMPANY. What else came with it?<br /><br />If I can remember my others, in a reasonable time, I will post them too.<br /><br />Love the site, this is right up my alley.<br /><br />Rick<br /><br />P.S. free idea alert: I know you are self published, so maybe a good book idea is a history of each of the major figures in bourbon history. one chapter per brand/founder or whathaveyou. most of the material is already here...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-79510948563961631852015-01-30T13:46:26.041-06:002015-01-30T13:46:26.041-06:00This will be the current issue for the next month ...This will be the current issue for the next month or two and will automatically start your subscription.
