Re: Even Kulsveen / Willett
Not to mention (and in keeping with the topic - truly a rare event in this forum) "Pure Kentucky XO", one of my all-time favorite bourbons and a product of Even Kulsveen's Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, whose active bottling and warehousing has been so cleverly exposed by Brenda herself.

Re: Even Kulsveen / Willett
Good intel, Bill. That's quite a portfolio. Not sure what 'inactive assumed names' means -- I recognize several names on that list as active, currently available products. But there's quite a few I've never heard of . Perhaps export-only stuff.
John, if you meet with Even Kulsveen next week, maybe he can shed some light on products we believe are part of his operation but aren't on the list, (i.e., Jefferson's Reserve, Sam Houston, Noah's, etc). BTW, are you going up the hill, like our brave agent Brenda?

Re: Even Kulsveen / Willett
Omar,
Scully here. I'm hoping John & Linda talk Mr. Kulsveen into having dinner with us @ Dagwoods Thursday night. I haven't quite decided whether or not to mention the little web page with photos from the inside of his warehouse...;o)
Scully (who's hoping Mr. Kulsveen will flattered and not pissed....)

Re: Even Kulsveen / Willett
Old Bardstown belongs to Heaven Hill. We do not bottle the 80 or 90 (or if we do I have not seen it for a long time) only the Bottled in Bond 100. It's ours DSP KY 31.
