Last time I looked they weren't members of the state distiller's guild, don't advertise, aren't really found in any of the state liquor stores and didn't have a website.<br /><br />Given that those are generally fairly easy things to do to get your brand out there I'm betting their marketing budget is about Zero and label design is a distant second to running the still and sitting on the beach drinking their own supply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-64879358162002046792016-10-04T08:13:35.964-07:002016-10-04T08:13:35.964-07:00Oh, they definitely meant finished.

This "new" whisky is still youthful with fresh corn notes like Baby Blue, but at cask strength, and bottled specifically to commemorate the grand opening of our new distillery. Limited edition and yet to be seen if we will do it again this way...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130779131324211910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-12443016371490074622016-09-30T08:39:24.163-07:002016-09-30T08:39:24.163-07:00Interesting, guess the "True Blue" nomen...Interesting, guess the "True Blue" nomenclature is gone for good. It was originally "baby blue" in contrast to True Blue (cask strength) and True Blue 100. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269944336562701026noreply@blogger.com
