Talk about your history and how you came to Heaven Hill

Talk about your old jobs dealing with dangerous chemicals.

Talk about the environmental impact of bourbon production.

So you have a history of rum. What do you think about this newborn uptick in Rum interest?

How many barrels is Heaven Hill producing per day?

What once was impossible to get rid of and now HH has been known for their high aged premium products by whiskey geeks. From Martin Mills 24 to EC18 and 23 and WHH 14 and 15 years, do you anticipate the future whiskey drinkers 10 years from now to still be wanting higher aged products?
