So its official, two of the most American products there are, are no longer American. I am honestly not sure how to feel about this, as I look at it two ways. One is that the fucking Japanese don't know shit about Bourbon, and these guys are pissing on tradition and pride and selling out, and disgracing American individualism and this drink that is so important to our culture. But two, is there anything more American than capitalism? These guys made a fucking ton of money on this deal. They were able to get a 25% premium on their stock price, and are now going to be sitting pretty for the rest of their lives. So for any of you guys who choose option one, just buy a different kind of Bourbon, if you are a classy fucker go get Woodford Reserve, and if you don't give a fuck just buy Evan Williams or some shit. And if take the cold-hearted capitalism approach, you are probably buying Evan Williams anyway because that shit is cheap.
PS At Woodford, they charge you 7 bucks for a tour and one free taster of Bourbon, that's a fucking rip-off, never going back there again. How about that for supply and demand Adam Smith?
