M...Family lore says my wife's grandfather, A.E. Mitchell, redesigned the Yellowstone name in the early 20th century while working for a firm in Los Angeles. But his wife wondered whether he could continue doing work for liquor companies because of the family's deeply held religious convictions. She asked, "Do you think you can honor God with this kind of work?" He quit accepting liquor assignments. About that same time he redesigned the Del Monte brand. Later he was a Bible teacher for Aimee Semple McPherson and designed Scripture plaques (seen on Ebay) and developed the missionary agency, Go Ye Fellowship. .

If Luxco/Limesto...This is a very informative post.<br /><br />If Luxco/Limestone Branch bottles this resurrected Yellowstone at 86 that would be a disappointment. <br /><br />I think all of this experimenting with flavors is interesting but essentially a no go (at least for me). I have zero interest in moon pie or pumpkin or quinoa or honey or cinnamon or apple pie flavored bourbons. To me: it's all gross. I don't want anything added to the bourbon but water - that's it. <br /><br />However, I completely applaud all of these craft folks.<br /><br />My greatest concern is that they all - almost universally - price themselves outside of the market.<br /><br />How can the consumer make a BUY decision on a 1 year old bourbon, for example, priced at 40 for a 750ml bottle when that same consumer can get acknowledged winners for the same price and for much less?<br /><br />I see almost all of the craft distillers trying to place themselves as "boutique" producers and thus make themselves inaccessible to their core market of bourbon people. I find this is a serious miscalculation. <br /><br />I fully understand that they have operating costs, expenses, etc blah blah blah; but if they do not sell their bourbon and lots of it, how will they survive? They won't.<br />All of this is entirely counter-intuitive to me. <br /><br />I want to support these small distillers but they make is almost impossible to do so because of their high prices. <br /><br />I would like to see some of these folks really be aggressive with their pricing so that they can build an audience of loyal consumers. That's how they will survive. <br /><br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-20404446697615846232014-12-29T16:10:36.047-05:002014-12-29T16:10:36.047-05:00Hi Tom!

I get your sarcasm about me calling Moonpie flavored moonshine "classic Craft whiskey" - but I'm not saying "classic Craft" to refer to "the best of Craft", but rather as the "the most common state of Craft whiskey" - at the moment. Young - often white - whiskey, often with a creative mash bill, and often bearing some extra flavor, is a hallmark of many many craft distillers - including top names like Balcones and Corsair Artisan. It's also a hallmark of the hundreds of less well known Craft distillers struggling to make a go of it, trading on the localvore market. Many of them are going to have to evolve or die. The real story here might be the Beam name and family connection providing an avenue for Limestone Branch to become something very different from what it is now - a hybrid of a Craft and a larger corporate distllery. As for your question about the recipie, I'm going to pursue that angle for a follow-up. Thanks for the great question. <br /><br />BTW - I love your latest post on <a href="http://weekendwhiskey.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Weekend Whiskey/</a>.NewYorkJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236276465833621198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-64152251092222465172014-12-27T08:55:01.169-05:002014-12-27T08:55:01.169-05:00Moonpie flavored moonshine is classic craft whiske...Moonpie flavored moonshine is classic craft whiskey. I read it here first. And you're right. I actually follow the Twitter account, @drinkmopie, but somehow hadn't thought of it as either classic or craft.<br /><br />I also agree that it will drive purists apoplectic, in which case a deep breath is in order. Unaged, flavored spirits in little brown jug and mason jar style bottles aren't stealing much thunder or reputation from Balcones and other small distilleries making good to excellent whiskey in the legal, 100% grain, no flavorings added sense.<br /><br />On another note, I always wonder what those original recipes look like. Has anyone seen a copy of what a distillery claims is an original recipe, and if so how detailed is it?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534284662785499386noreply@blogger.com
