Great Economic News!
Ok that's a bit of a misnomer, to be sure, but seriously, it seems there's at least one industry that's not in the tank: the bourbon industry. Obviously, this pleases me. According to the article, the company that makes Evan Williams and Elijah Craig "recently spent nearly $4 million boosting capacity 50 percent at its distillery in Louisville." Not impressed yet? Wild Turkey's "$36 million expansion near Lawrenceburg will nearly double its production" (mmmm, Russell's Reserve!). You want more? Maker's Mark is expanding for the second time, and my go-to Jim Beam "is in the midst of a $70 million expansion in Kentucky." Heck yes. Here's to many more raised glasses of bourbon.
