Ethanol: "Brown-Forman profit rises after costs are cut" (BF.A BF.B)

"As most savvy drinkers are by now aware, Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 is no longer with us."

"It has been knifed in the back by the greedy corporate clowns at Brown-Forman, the conglomerate that bought the Jack Daniel distillery in 1956. Mr. Daniel’s once excellent whiskey began life as a 90 proof liquor, but about 17 years ago the proof was lowered to 86. Now it has been lowered again, to a timid 80 proof. America’s best bourbon is now a ghost. "
