If you enjoy spirits then I'm sure you've caught wind a little bit of the makers of Jim Beam and Maker's Mark being sold recently to Japanese company called Suntory Holdings.
I won't pretend to understand all of the business end....in regards to profit margins and shares rising and what not. But I'd be curious to hear if you have any opinions to whether or not you believe the product will change or quality.
My personal opinion: I don't think anything will change. The only difference is that my money will ultimately go to a Japanese company. I don't plan on taking a stance, as some claim they will, and cease drinking Maker's Mark. It is what it is.
Please be careful to keep any comments within the realm of quality control and the product, rather than morphing this into a forbidden political conversation.
