that is interesting.
The drinks giants...Hi there,<br /><br />that is interesting.<br /><br />The drinks giants are eying craft... or what counts as such.<br /><br />Diageo has two outfits Distill Ventures and Whisky Union.<br /><br />Bacardi bought into Angel’s Envy and now Constellation follows suit.<br /><br />What more wil we see?<br /><br />Diageo "helps" small businesse onder the obligatory option to be able to buy them.<br /><br />The products that Whisky Union is producing are whisky related... at best but the goal is to innovate and to be creative out from under the behemoth umbrella.<br /><br />Seems the biggies are outsourcing creativity.<br /><br />Greetings<br />kallaskanderkallaskandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-38502990382750052582016-01-14T09:48:57.986-06:002016-01-14T09:48:57.986-06:00MGP does not require NDAs.MGP does not require NDAs.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-41332070149536559222016-01-14T09:37:53.481-06:002016-01-14T09:37:53.481-06:00I'm not sure that's fair. They completely ...I'm not sure that's fair. They completely own the fact that they didn't distill the whiskey they sell and they'll even tell you what the mash is (I assume there's an NDA in place since they won't directly acknowledge that it came from Lawrenceburg)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219137926882559579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-53527211112817755352016-01-13T22:16:20.965-06:002016-01-13T22:16:20.965-06:00Potemkin Craft.

It's surprisingly good; I believe they're actually using the Maker's Mark mashbill. It was a good tour (and the 10-year OBSV-equivalent single barrel I had was shockingly good).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219137926882559579noreply@blogger.com
