Here We Go Again

Evan Williams just doesn’t know when to say when. After orchestrating this season’s biggest political scandal - an attempt to try and sway Senators Obama and Clinton to sip Evan Williams Bourbon when they visit Kentucky to campaign in the upcoming Presidential primary by sending them bottles of Evan Williams - they attacked me in a press release, and even called into question my very existence. Ridiculous.  You can read the press release here.

Saying it is insulting to drink Jeremiah Weed is a deep and personal attack on the citizens of Kentucky, and for that matter all adult Americans who have a sophisticated palate.  And, using the politics of product destruction to offer a lame defense of a blatant political grab - where what Evan Williams Bourbon was really up to was a secret attempt to influence the political process - is just unseemly.

It is a shame that Evan Williams continues to play loose with the facts and has resorted to the politics of product destruction.  It is true that in the past I have sent bottles of Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur to some of this nation’s great patriots, including to the campaigns of Senators Obama and Clinton.  However, these gifts are simply sent as gestures of appreciation, never in response to a political candidate sipping a competing product - and never in an attempt to influence the democratic process.

I have always stood tall and proud with the people of Kentucky and people all over North America and will continue to do so in the midst of controversy. I have assured the fine citizens here that democracy will prevail and that the people will ultimately decide the right thing. We at Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur are humble about being the best, and I’m confident the good people of Kentucky and quite frankly all over the world will confirm that in the much publicized bourbon primary poll at JeremiahWeedBourbon.com.

This all started with the campaign between Senators Obama and Clinton, which will be played out next Tuesday through The Bluegrass State. I just hope everyone at Evan Williams Bourbon will take a deep breath and put the citizens of Kentucky first.

All of this, understandably, prompted me to release a statement of my own. You can read my response here.

I look forward to seeing many of you on the campaign trail as we continue to stand up for democracy.

I remain,

Sincerely yours,

Mr. Jeremiah Weed
