YES. my local liquor purveyor is well stocked with American whiskey, despite being in Canada....<br /><br />Can I still buy good whiskey? YES. Makers mark is readily available, as is JDSB, Woodford Reserve, and recently, 4R 1B. so, I am not hurting myself with rotgut.<br /><br />Can I get the whiskeys I used to get, or similar? NO. a whole bunch have gone away. Notably to me, no 101 Wild turkey, or evan Williams SB. (or age statement bourbon, generally, but that is the next point.)<br /><br />Can I get old bourbon, reliably? NO. The only age statement bourbon I can find reliably is Eagle Rare (10 year old). and they have removed the 10 ya, from the front of the bottle. not long for the world, I think.<br /><br />So the answer is "yes and no". I can get bourbon, in fact, MORE good bourbon than I could before. but a bunch of the older stuff? gone. never to be seen again.<br /><br />RicjkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-34284741300959306872015-02-22T11:01:46.723-06:002015-02-22T11:01:46.723-06:00Love it.

Keep repeating nonsense until it's accepted by the masses as a fact. <br /><br />This is how Edward Barnays was able to tap the subconscious of those who deep down love to be part of something. He got women to smoke by convincing them they had a right to. <br /><br />It's easy, use the press to plant the idea that the desire for people to spend money in an irrational manner is good for them in so many ways.<br /><br /> I mean, why not use the passing of Mr Single Barrel himself, E.T. Lee, as a kick starter to the perverse campaign? It's a proven formula.

Jack Daniels is one of the largest whiskeys in the world.<br /><br />And Suntory purchasing Jim Beam doesn't make the product foreign.
