Selling out to Japanese firm. Hmmm, that whole thing doesnt jive. I dont drink the stuff, much more of a Jack d guy if I am going that way, but something tells me the back hills Kentucky Bourbon (Deerfield bases) just doesnt sound the same when owned by the SUNTORY corp.

I used to deliver to them in Deerfield all the time in my pizza delivery days. Tipped well. No samples though. |

Just the same, Suntory makes good whiskey. So its not as if the Orange Soda Pop company bought 'em. |

I actually like Jim Beam as opposed to Jack. Jack is rougher around the edges to me. |

The Devil's Cut was good at the price point. I may not be able to continue drinking them. |
