that is a very interesting article thanks for posting it . there are so many marketing twists in the whisky industry it is amazing and ton in the vodka world i cant believe it , most come from a necessary process from days gone by makes for great history . my favorite is the vodka distilled 10 ten times lol if every plate is a distillation guess that's true but if your running your vodka thru the still 10 times then you better call paul and get a better still and colum  lol . there may have been a time in history that people needed to do that and now the public thinks it must be the good stuff cuz it was distilled 10 times .....i love it history adds such romance to the industry . romance with a touch of bullshit makes for great labelling .
