When Canada sends its regards, it's not sending their best.
Yeah, the regards really seem to love it in the US.
On one hand, fuck the government of Kentucky and the people who voted for this. On the other my heartfelt sympathy for people who fought against this bullshit and are suffering.
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 luck they will sell and rebrand, beam is a dead brand.

I am all in on the Canadian Club.
Bourbon-glazed face is the chef’s kiss
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.
Winning?
NOOOOO!!!
Jim Bean is garbage whisky
Hopefully some of those idiots that elected mitch over and over again will start to see how bad trump is but i doubt it

I used to like Beam. But japanese whiskeys are better and cheaper here in Asia anyway.
