WhiskyCast HD: Maker's Mark Cuts Its Proof

What this episode covers

For the first time since Bill Samuels Sr. introduced Maker's Mark Bourbon more than 50 years ago, the whisky is being changed. Supply shortages have forced Maker's to lower the alcohol by volume (ABV) level from 45% to 42%, which lowers the proof from 90 Proof to 84 Proof. In this interview with WhiskyCast's Mark Gillespie, Maker's Mark Chief Operating Officer Rob Samuels explains the reasons behind the move, and why he claims it won't affect the taste of the whisky.

LAMMIE, De Hasjkotter (verbeterde versie 2024) Rik Bouman **Show Notes:****Duik in "Lammie de Hasjkotter",** de podcast die het meest gedurfde avontuur in de smokkelgeschiedenis ontrafelt. In maart 1974 zet de HD 160, alias Lammie, koers naar Libanon, met aan boord een bemanning van kleurrijke personages, elk met hun eigen geheimen en motieven.**Voordat Lammie de haven verlaat,** gonst het al van de geruchten. Wie wist er van deze riskante onderneming? De reis naar Libanon is allesbehalve gewoon, vol bizarre wendingen en tegenslagen. Maar het is de terugreis die de geschiedenisboeken haalt: een zenuwslopende achtervolging op volle zee door marine, douane en rijkspolitie te water.**En dan, plotseling, verdwijnt Lammie van de radar.** Wat is er gebeurd? Deze podcast duikt diep in het verhaal dat niet alleen een spannend zeeverhaal is, maar ook gezien wordt als het begin van grootschalige politieacties tegen drugssmokkel.**Hashtags:** #LammieDeHasjkotter #SmokkelLegenden #ZeeAvonturen #DrugssmokkelGeschiedenis #VerdwenenOpZee #Politieacties
