Josh Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It looks like Alltech is planning a facility in Lexington similar to the PS one. This is from Friday's Lexington Herald-Leader. Supposedly, they've been making bourbon in their current facility for the last four years, which is aging somewhere in Bardstown. Hummmmmm.Probably the same secret location where the General Nelson keeps its waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Probably the same secret location where the General Nelson keeps its waiting list. Nice!! That's great news. Now, at least we have someone who can help the GN remember where they put the list in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 They'll probably let it sit there half finished for a while to lure the rebels into attacking it."That blast came from The Party Source! That thing's operational!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmckenzie Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The distillery could come together by 2013. especially if the still is being built now, and the permits are going forward. I wish them luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer&Bourbon Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm pretty excited about the whole expansion. The distillery is exciting, but it'll be awhile before we see something from that so I'm especially excited about the tasting bar that I've heard is going in. From what I've heard it'll be a whisk(e)y tasting bar; was that confirmed anywhere?Good luck, Jay!

cowdery Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 · Hidden Hidden I know and like Jay Erisman at Party Source. I don't know anyone else there. As I told Jay, they're beginning this venture with a lot of big claims. There may be a fine line between enthusiasm and hubris. For example, in the article linked above they say they "will immediately be part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, with such world-class counterparts as Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark and Wild Turkey."That's not really up to them. First they need to get a license, build a distillery, start distilling, and join the Kentucky Distillers Association (KDA). Then they can apply to be part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Although the KDA has several micro-distillery members, all of whom offer tours, no micro-distillery is on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.In the invitation to yesterday's ground-breaking, they said, "Be there as we begin construction on what will truly be an exciting and one-of-a-kind landmark, one of the top craft distilleries in the U.S. and the World." Nice to aim high, but to declare yourself the world’s best before you’ve even broken ground seems a bit over the top.A bit more modesty, I think, would go a long way. Link to comment
cowdery Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 After reading the article and some of the material TPS has put out, I conclude that they do not subscribe to the "under-promise and over-deliver" school of business strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourbon Boiler Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think they're selling the "Bourbon Campus" idea pretty well, and I would anticipate that being a fun visit. I'm definitely optimistic about that part. The actual product from the distillery could be completely different, but time will tell and I won't bother to speculate.

Restaurant man Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Nice to know they are putting a 500% effort into making quality bourbon. I had some whiskey last night and it was apparent that only a 200% effort was put forth. Lazy bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) The Party Source does many good things so it seems appropriate to give them the benefit of the doubt. What was in the message I deleted? A meditation about when enthusiasm becomes hyperbole and hyperbole become hubris, more or less. But, yeah, lame ass copywriting, to be sure.And I want to know why can't they give 1000%?Let's wait and see what they actually do. That's what matters. A little excess chin music won't hurt anybody.

Bourbon Boiler Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't judge whiskey by it's name, but if I did Nth would only be slightly ahead of R1^, or however you type it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
