“We were speaking last night to the owners of some of the oldest distillers in the country and they love our whiskey, think we’re doing a good job and we keep telling them, ‘hey, we keep growing all the grain that we ship to you guys, so I’m sorry, but now we’re going to start doing it ourselves,'” said John.
