“That niche, that space in bourbon is a pretty specialized product. They can try and fill it but they can’t do it in any legitimate way and call it bourbon, it would be illegal,” Bricker said.

Uhh. Tell that to Cheddar, Moz, Champagne.. And a million other protected trademarks that the US has just used.

Canada can put fermented maple syrup in a bucket and call it bourbon if they want to.

we voted overwhelmingly for trump 3 times, with the exception of 2 counties. the commonwealth voted for this.

hit us harder. this is what the commonwealth obviously wants despite jefferson (louisville) and fayette (lexington) counties knowing better.

GOOD! Irish whiskey was always the win anyways

Welp, bourbon is about to get cheaper... Sadly I don't drink bourbon, but instead I'll drink Irish whiskey or scotch because they are IMO better drinks

I'll keep an eye on it, but i seriously doubt they would lower the price.

Corpos don't know how to lower prices anymore

If I were them I would just re barrel it and sell it as like a 15 year aged Bourbon a decade later or so.

They have these things called employees. They tend to want to work and stuff.

And how does it get rebarreled?
