Sazerac Bids $15 Billion for Brown-Forman

from Chasing the Unicorn: Bourbon & American Whiskey

Today's Cut covers Sazerac's $15 billion all-cash bid for Brown-Forman — the biggest American whiskey deal since 2014 — and the Brown family's apparent preference for Pernod Ricard's competing share-swap offer. First Sip covers the mash bill, anchored to Angel's Envy's first-ever age-stated cask-strength rye. Today's Chase Spotlight is that same Angel's Envy 10-Year Cask Strength Rye at $269.99, launching Friday. Full AWIB waiting at chasingtheunicornpodcast.com/the-brief.
