Fine Liquor

I don't know if this is a big deal, but Maker's Mark to Dilute Bourbon by 7 Percent

Clearly this isn't the best way to save a buck, right?  

Wouldn't raising prices versus (quite literally) diluting the product and brand be a better option?

Hey remember that time we all bitched about something?

If this were Vancouver, we'd build a statue of this thread at the entrance of the messageboard.

In a fitting epilogue to this whole saga, yesterday I received an e-mail blast from Binny's, urging me to rush in and purchase a LIMITED COLLECTOR'S EDITION bottle of 84 proof Maker's Mark.

How much did it cost you?

I got there just in time to be told that a beltless chap with Iowa plates had purchased the entire inventory.

For Tonk: had Abdelbaset al-Megrahi done this, he'd have never have been releasesd, right?

TRENTON, N.J. - May 23, 2013 (WPVI) -- At one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch. In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water - and apparently not even clean water at that.

State officials provided those new details Thursday on raids they conducted a day earlier as part of a yearlong investigation dubbed Operation Swill.

Twenty-nine New Jersey bars and restaurants, including 13 TGI Fridays, were accused of substituting cheap booze - or worse - for the good stuff while charging premium prices.

Bump.

If you want to have some less-than-fine liquor, we'll be wishing Slak a bon voyage Sat. 8/3 at Galway Bay.

On that note I had a couple beers at Northdown Cafe finally and had a shot of tasty Malort.

Asked the bartender if he knew Sam and of course he did.
