Chris Applauds the Senate

Finally, a vote we can use. This is one for our side!

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(Business Wire)--Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc., the world's number one bourbon producer, proudly applauds that the U.S. Senate has declared, by unanimous vote, September as "National Bourbon Heritage Month". This resolution reinforces bourbon as 'America's Native Spirit' by celebrating the family heritage, tradition and deep-rooted legacy that the bourbon industry contributes to the United States. The resolution calls for consumers who enjoy bourbon to do so responsibly and in moderation. 'This is a great honor that the U.S. Senate has bestowed upon the bourbon industry,' said Bill Samuels Jr., president of Maker's Mark Distillery. 'The tradition of family heritage, authenticity and craftsmanship behind bourbon is what has made it an American Icon.'

Chris had this to say: "It goes to show how fondly they think of bourbon; they gave it a longer month than Black History Month." Another astute observation from the man himself.

I love that it passed unanimously, and that bourbon is described as an American icon with a tradition of family heritage. Americans love the sauce. Except for that part about enjoying it responsibly and in moderation, we here at CW agree wholeheartedly with an enthusiastic call for another round!
