Maker's Mark to reduce alcohol content
If you like to enjoy your Maker's Mark with a little water, then there's good news. You won't need to add your own water anymore because the distillery will do it for you. The Kentucky distillery behind Maker's Mark is taking some of the alcohol out of their product, going from 90 proof to 84 proof. "Fact is, demand for our bourbon is exceeding our ability to make it," wrote Maker's Mark executives Rob Samuels and Bill Samuels Jr. in an email to clients.
It's really a pretty ingenious way to deal with supply and demand. If you water down your bourbon, you can make more bottles to sell, and when you've lowered the alcohol content of your bourbon, nobody will buy it anymore. Problem solved! http://now.msn.com/makers-mark-waters-down-bourbon |

BO mentioned a while back his favorite whiskey was something from Asia.
Suntory perhaps.. The point is, whiskey producers are penalized to produce full flavor/ proof products in this country.

Chiefs use the same philosophy on ticket sales. Why not?

I've been selling Maker's Mark for over 10 years.
I can tell you they have been wrestling with the limited supply issue for over 8 of those Years. I've met Bill Samuels and I know for a fact Missouri gets more than a normal allow allocation because Missouri is a major Oak barrel producer for whiskey in general. Since the beginning Makers had only ONE STILL. I can every still has its own personality. I don't know the exact year, but within the last 5 they finally constructed the 2nd still to keep up with demand. In that process, they recreated the same dents and imperfections as the original still. They have a staff on ten people to hand dip each bottle. There are sever regions of the USA rejoicing this decision.

If only the people in those regions knew that this was actually Maker's kicking them in the dick and betraying their loyalty.

BO's favorite whiskey is from wherever Al Queda is. He's the only Muslim allowed to drink it.

I had never heard of Suntory before. Japanese scotch? Sounds intriguing. Binny's carries 12 YO Hakushu.
