Canada sends it's regards
I used to like Beam. But japanese whiskeys are better and cheaper here in Asia anyway.
Danm, what a pain it will be to bring up that still in a year. Also have to take down and clean all their vats. Remind me not to buy any jim beam made in 2027.
At least maintenance will get free reign for once.
With any lucky they will sell and rebrand, beam is a dead brand.
Jim Beam me outta here!
Ain't that a damn shame. The Blue Grass is covered in orange shit. Zero sympathy for the neo-Nazi Kentucky voters and the Japanese at Suntory should consider dumping Jim Beam from the portfolio.
"We will continue to distill at our [Freddie Booker Noe] craft distillery in Clermont and at our larger Booker Noe distillery in Boston, we plan to pause distillation at our main distillery on the James B. Beam campus for 2026 while we take the opportunity to invest in site enhancements.”
They're going to keep making the craft bourbon, and I suspect they could coast for a decade on the barrels they have in rack houses. Bourbon doesn't really go bad.
It takes 4-8 years to age it.
But it's not that big of a deal, they've had fires and lost millions of gallons multiple times.
This is at least planned, and you're probably right that they'll prioritize the higher priced items.
They'll also modernize the equipment so they need fewer workers. Who probably also voted red
Canadians, why were you drinking so much Jim Beam? Didn't you have a minimum quality level you'd accept? There were better Canadian options available in the US, why would you settle for that swill?

Are there still significant numbers of people that believe Trump understands the economy or are the minority morons just getting louder, with support from Russia? Were they always just 30-50% Russian as per the recent issue identified on r/conservative
I believe that this is backwards. Trump is fully backed by the US billionaires. There is no opposition among them, which would have financed an impeachment.
This makes Trump's Russian links secondary. I cannot imagine the billionaires to let a guy win who could betray them and their global influence.
Now the success of China demands drastic changes. The Russian links allow the media to shift blame constantly. It would be less convenient if people wouldn't look for the origin of problems in Russia.
The tariff policy on China is necessary to shift production back to the US. The new leverage on other countries is an additional benefit. Like most things this won't be Trump's plan but attributing it to him prevents people from asking more questions. Project 2025 exists. It's neither made by Trump nor Russia.
