??Whiskey Business in Japan, ??The Whiskey Slump in USA, Great ??Quotes About Whiskey & Whiskey From the Tears?? of Humans
Happy Friday!
I have a few discussions over the past week about the pending bourbon bubble - I can't wait. There are too many labels, too many barrels coming of age, and contract whiskey? Yeah, oodles and oodles.
Expect the big guys to retire empty labels, and push a global footprint. Look for more smaller, local distilleries to dissolve - it the way of things. But, the silver lining for me, are the local, CRAFT distilleries, that did not sell out, and look to maintain a solid, regional following. Some don't even want to expand beyond their state line.
Japan.?? After experiencing a series of problems and issues, regulations may make the environment even more 危険な (risky/dangerous). ??
Again, it is the Way of things.
??Speaking of...the US slump? It's real. The bottle chasers are looking at all those shelves of bourbon - 20K worth? - scratching their head. Shouldn't he or she liquify those assets? Yes. Yes you should. Right now. "The best bottle collection is an empty bottle collection."
The bubble will burst, the adjustment will happen as it has for companies and industries through out time. Maybe we'll get back to the days of 38 dollar Blanton's, eh? Prolly not.
??I am NOT A FIREBALL fan-boy. But, taking to "Distill Human Tears Into a Salty, Football-Themed Release Dubbed ‘Crierball’" got my attention. The bourbon world will never be short on stories and marketing. I love it. But this distilling the tears of saddened football fans is genius. Fact or fiction - it's cool.
??Speaking of cool: who is cooler than Hemingway, Thompson, Twain, Churchill or Errol Flynn?
Nobody, Greg. Absolutely, nobody. What's more, these guys and a few more like them, have said nifty, profound, simple and prophetic things about whiskey. Like,
“Whisky is liquid sunshine.” from George Bernard Shaw.
This is pretty cool. Check it out, commit to memory and repeat this weekend with a dram in hand. Amaze and stupefy your friends and family.
Good stuff. Have a great weekend and week - the drinking season has begun.??
Cheers!

When I ask whiskey makers’ opinions about the current sales slide in American whiskey, the answer I hear often is, “Depends.”
“Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested.” - Hunter S. Thompson
“Companies started importing Scotch or bourbon, aging it a little, and selling it as Japanese whisky,”
“Never delay kissing a pretty girl or opening a bottle of whiskey.” E. Hemingway
“The Fireball Tear Collectors will never touch fans or handle the tears directly; they’ll only collect fluid right from the source (fans eyes).
