Capn's Log: Great post, and a must read article. Apparently the "fast aging" scam has failed, so what's next? Make it all up - brand, story and product. Linked in the above article is this HUGE list of "distillers" that uh, don't distill:

The Spirit of Kentucky: Bourbon is more of a commodity than many realize

[Capn Jimbo]

This is a bigger problem than you could possibly imagine...


Following is a list of "independent" bottlers and the literally hundreds (if not thousands) of made-up brands that they don't distill, but simply purchase on the bulk market. Now I know idiocy and believe me, Americans indeed are true idiots who can be led to believe in and buy almost anything.

Full and tremendous credit to "Sku", whom I believe is an LA attorney who became so diseanmored with all the lies and misrepresentation that he created a blog dedicated to outing all the arseholes. His work is amazing, and as long as the following is, it is but a small part of his work, available here:
