Sazerac is playing a long game. I suspect that when they finally decide to launch their own Tennessee Whiskey, they'll develop that as a homeplace, maybe also as a production facility, but maybe not. I'm just guessing. I don't have any inside information.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-68913511956005155502023-10-07T14:23:32.233-05:002023-10-07T14:23:32.233-05:00It's been years since the Murfreesboro TN Saze...It's been years since the Murfreesboro TN Sazerac announcement and no action.

I don't see any movement. Do you know the timeline for this operation to open. I know they need a 5 lane road to it and land has been acquired for it, but no construction.

Even though some residents have complained at the public hearings...the city hasn't seen any REAL reason to keep this from moving forward from what I hear. That site has two natural springs feeding the quarry.<br />The thing I find funny is the people so up in arms about traffic and the "industrial" zoning have chosen to live next to I-14! Some of those homes are literally 50-75 yards from the the interstate.<br />I am excited about the distillery moving there!Sonny Pantonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461401800744726452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-6540309933673638042018-03-16T22:59:47.019-05:002018-03-16T22:59:47.019-05:00Doubtful.

By doing this, they will have three year old whiskey the day they open the doors. And Sazerac may well have another use for Newport.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-10222796230958822082018-03-16T14:57:50.105-05:002018-03-16T14:57:50.105-05:00I might be missing something, but if they didn'...I might be missing something, but if they didn't want the location, and they didn't want the equipment or the product, why did they buy them?Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493042951317284351noreply@blogger.com
