This Just In: Medley Has Been Sold and You Won't Believe Who Bought It

That's my standing challenge to all of these guys. None of this nonsense of comparing it to other brands, like Cleveland does. Give me (and others) a straight up before and after.

As for his apparent sincerity, remember the quote attributed to Walter Cronkite: "The secret in this business of broadcast news is credibility. If you can fake that, you've got it made."

I believe it was J.R. Ewing who said that.

Too true. And if you are self-deluded, your sincerity is all the more credible.

I might give them the benefit of the doubt on vodka, after all it is already distilled to a very high proof. Whisk(e)y - you'll only make me a believer in a blind tasting.

I am with Gary on giving them the benefit of the doubt. However, I would be much more excited if an established bourbon distiller had purchased the distillery.

[Gillman]

Squire, what isn't though? Is it money + in other words?

In a related news update;

A group of investors has just purchased the rights to the long dormant trade name Flav-R-Straws and has announced that they will begin marketing a simulated Bourbon straw that will allow drinkers to sip inexpensive vodka and taste aged Bourbon. "The Flav-R-Straw concept is one that will revolutionize the international drinks business and will open new marketing frontiers while utilizing the most modern scientific concepts."

On their web site they provide this detailed scientific schematic of their new invention in spirits flavoring.

Trey Herring's Carolina Bourbon Whiskey (not straight) is produced by them. At least they have the same address in North Charleston. It taste OK but not worth the $25+ a bottle. It is also hard to get a straight consistent answer from them. The reps claim it is wheated which I doubt based on taste. I thought it tasted alot like a sample of vodka (gns) with bourbon extract I tasted at the "make your own bourbon quick" booth at a Bourbon and Beer festival. You buy cheap vodka, add their bourbon (or scotch, etc.) extract and put it in their mini barrels for 3 months and you have "top quality whiskey". I guess if you used a wheat-based vodka you could call it wheated. I suspect owning a Kentucky distillery would give more "credence" to the validity of their product. JMHT

Hey, Sailor. You new in town? (No, that's not what I wanted to ask.)

Hey, Sailor. You got more info? My IRA has room for a flyer or two, and this sounds like something I could put money in.

The closest thing to information that I could find on that website said something about traditional distillation followed by oxygenation and ultrasonic technology.

[squire]

For me it's oxygenation by pouring whisky into a glass followed by traditional swallowing technology.

[Josh]

Very weird. As with the Old Taylor situation, I'm hopeful but not optimistic.

My take:

Hipster bourbon. :puke::puke::puke:
