Nice Irish line-up, imho the best besides the Middleton very rare. Is that a personalised bottle of the Jameson 12 special reserve, from the distillery in Middleton?

Indeed. A friend who works for Pernod Ricard got a tour of the bottling plant last year. In a few months he's headed back for a visit to the distillery itself.

My god, is nothing sacred?

They decided not to dilute. Thank goodness.

That was a close call. I was actually considering doing an Arizona run to stock up. Oh, and see my buddy, of course.

Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark - I'm stocked up in case they run out.

I don't understand the decision by Makers Mark to consider diluting their bourbon.

If increased demand is making the product scarce, it seems to me that the simple solution for the company is to raise the wholesale price accordingly, not to dilute the product.

Cool. Strangely Jameson's Middleton distillery sells the personalised Jameson bottles, whereas the Dublin Distillery sells the Middleton very rare, which you can't find in Middleton.

My buddy in AZ is the one who alerted me to this. He is in advertising, and predicted it would be a PR nightmare. Thankfully, they've removed the bullet from their foot.

I had a Ketel One martini last night. I guess that counts.

Maker's Mark; 45% alcohol, thank you.

Beam Inc won't do that as it will cannibalize on their product pricing ladder - directly competing with Knob Creek.

Titos rocks! (meaning that I think Titos rocks, not that I'm having a Titos Rocks).

Cheers!

Just got an email from a retailer saying that some Woodford Reserve Master's Four Wood Finish is available. Has anyone tried it? Worth a C-note?

A son-in-law served me Woodinville Whiskey Co. 100% Rye. Intriguing stuff. Wild and sappy, with multiple dimensions.
I highly recommend that the locals give a try. I doubt that it is available elsewhere.

I have tried their Bourbon, it was decent. I'll have to give the rye a shot.
Have you seen their white whiskey that comes with a micro barrel to age it in?
