Whisky Hotline Hits the Road

The Whisky Hotline is hitting the road on the continued search for the best bottlings for our customers. I flew into Louisville last night with Binny's Spirits consultants Joe Maloney, Doug Fornek, and Ross Macfarquhar and we're going to be spending the day on the eastern edge of the Bourbon trail, with visits today at Four Roses, Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace. We have recently taken in a number of new hand picked bottlings (most notably the 10 barrel vatting of Buffalo Trace, IMHO the best we've done to date,) and are prowling for more opporunities. Only the best and most interesting will make it back to Chicago. I will be periodically updating the trip and passing along information and new discoveries as they arise. Please feel free to submit questions, I just might be able to get answers directly from the source!

Brett,If you havent already left 4Roses perhaps you can ask Jim if he has any dirt on the Suntory/Kirin rumors.
Will/has Suntory negotiated any takeovers and will it effect Roses?
In any case say hi to Jim and Lucille if you see her.
If you make it to the Gazebo say hi to my fellow Madisonian Bob Drousth who will be encamped there.
