Conecuh Ridge controversy

[Charter13]

Here is a little more fuel to add to the fire. I met with Mr. May and his Financial Manager regarding his whiskey about 6-7 months ago. At that time he informed me that he was building a distillery in Alabama to make Conecuh Ridge a pot-stilled whiskey. Here is the interesting part--he informed me that Lincoln Henderson jumped ship at L&G to come to work for him at the distillery in Alabama! It would be interesting to hear Lincoln's side of this to say the least!

While at the WhiskeyFest in NYC in November, I attended a seminar put on by Suntory for their Japanese whiskey , Yamazaki. Lincoln Henderson was working for them.

FYI,

Lincoln retired from Brown Forman in 2004. He is presently doing consultant work for BF (primarily Woodford Reserve) and Suntory.

While he offers fatherly advice on occasion, Lincoln is not affiliated with Conecuh Ridge.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. It is always nice to have someone "in the know" around. Welcome to SB.com!

But the question remains. What's the likelihood of an actual distillery being put into production there?

Our business plan calls for a small distillery by the end of 2009.

Thanks. Don't you love people who actually answer questions?
