Kind of dark for a single malt. (pray they used old wood and not new wood.)

Why battle age & size, when we need to battle the type of wood.

Who said my barrel are made from OAK!

Less paperwork more trees for us to cut down and make into barrels.
I feel ok with this, am I missing something?
-
anyone know anything about this?

Rhonda and myself talked about this today and the fear of submitting to FDA would be very bad. Lets hope he does not sneak this past.

Lord knows trade practices need an update. I think a split would push this much needed update back words. I also cry at the idea of the FDA, can you see us subject to nutrition labels!

Spirits company Beam Inc. said Friday it agreed to buy Cooley Distillery, the industry’s last remaining independent Irish whiskey distiller, for about $95 million.
Cooley owns and produces the Kilbeggan, Connemara, Tyrconnell and Greenore brands. It currently sells about 250,000 9-liter cases per year and has enough production capacity to support future growth, Beam said. The company’s Kilbeggan Distillery, opened in 1757, is one of the world’s oldest distilleries and produces Cooley’s flagship blended Irish whiskey, Beam said.
Deerfield-based Beam’s brands include Jim Beam Bourbon, Maker’s Mark Bourbon and Canadian Club Whisky. Under the terms of the deal, Beam will pay $8.25 in cash for each share of Cooley stock. In order for the deal to go through, at least 80 percent of Cooley’s shares must be tendered, but holders of over 75 percent of the stock have already agreed to tender their shares, Beam said. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2012. Beam said it doesn’t expect the addition of Cooley to affect its 2012 earnings, but that it should increasingly boost its profits after that.Beam said Cooley’s status as one of only three sources for Irish whiskey, and the only independent company, makes the acquisition a compelling chance to get into one of the industry’s highest growth categories.Beam shares rose 35 cents to $50 in morning trading Friday. Its shares are up from a 52-week low of $42.30 in early October.

Jess was in Whiskey Mag last month, and everything looks green as grass. They had a little shake up with the head distiller, but I'm not sure why. I like jess, and I grew up in Colorado also. So I root for the home team. Thats not a tebow joke
