Jeremiah Weed and Hillary Clinton Win Big in Kentucky

Thought I would post the latest news here.  Big night for the citizens of Kentucky and for democracy in general. 

Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur Beats Out Evan Williams for Kentucky’s Bourbon Title in Primary Poll

 May 21 – Weed Kentucky –   Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur joined Hillary Clinton in the winner’s circle Tuesday night by scoring an impressive victory in the much-publicized Kentucky Bourbon Primary Poll over Evan Williams Bourbon.  In a hotly contested election full of rancor and controversy, Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur was able to prevail above the fray, winning over the citizens of Kentucky in convincing fashion with over 55 percent of the popular vote.

 

The patron father of Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur, Mr. Jeremiah Weed, had roundly criticized the makers of Evan Williams Bourbon for “playing politics” in the weeks leading up to Kentucky’s Presidential primary election when Evan Williams attempted to sway Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to sip Evan Williams bourbon by sending them bottles of Evan Williams.  At the time, Mr. Weed called Evan Williams’ political ploys “a shame,” and urged the company to leave behind the “politics of product destruction” on his blog, Mr. Jeremiah Weed Speaks.

 

“All we have ever asked for is an unfettered election that would allow the people’s voices to be heard,” Mr. Weed stated.  “Now that the fine citizens of Kentucky have spoken and sided with Jeremiah Weed, we intend to honor that vote by continuing to deliver them with the finest Jeremiah Weed product that we have for so many years.”  He added that “with the election now over, it is time for all of us to unite and enjoy Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur together.” 

 

The final primary results secure Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur’s reputation of “The People’s Bourbon” in Kentucky and across North America.  The final primary election poll results can be viewed in full at JeremiahWeedBourbon.com.

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

New “Primary” Poll – Evan Williams Resorts to Dirty Politics

As you may have read or heard, while campaigning a few weeks ago, Senator Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop at a local Crown Point, Indiana, bar and was photographed sipping a whiskey. It has now come to my attention that my good friends at Evan Williams Bourbon have sent bottles of their product to Senators Clinton and Obama in the hope that they will be seen drinking Evan Williams when they come to Kentucky in the coming weeks for the Presidential primary election. A gesture such as this serves only as political maneuvering and undermines the electoral process.

Evan Williams bourbon is clearly distraught over the fact that in Indiana, Senator Clinton chose to sip a whiskey that was not Evan Williams bourbon. This obviously caused Evan Williams to resort to political ploys to try to win the favor of Senators Obama and Clinton when they visit Kentucky, and in turn, unfairly influence the fine citizens there. In an electoral season full of strife and controversy, it is important for someone to speak out for the people, and as the patron father of “The People’s Bourbon,” I am confident that the people will ultimately settle this by seeing past the gimmicks of Evan Williams and declare Jeremiah Weed Kentucky’s true bourbon drink of choice.

I must say, I am offended by Evan Williams’ political posturing during these important times for our country. So, in response, I am announcing a new “primary” in the form of a poll at JeremiahWeedBourbon.com, which asks you, the people, to vote on what bourbon the Presidential candidates should sip when they arrive in Kentucky. By taking this issue directly to the people, we can move past political ploys and settle this issue in a democratic fashion. We can only hope Evan Williams doesn’t send bottles to Super Delegates in order to try to unfairly affect this critical electoral process further.

Welcome to the Jeremiah Weed Blog Site!

Welcome folks. As you may have heard or read, I am back after a long absence. I’ve spent a lot of of the past quarter century in the hills of Kentucky, every once in awhile passing riders in the woods whose flasks I refill. I so looked forward to the days when I heard the horses of the Weed drinkers coming up the path past my cottage. Those are some of the best people around. Now, the time has come for me to meet some of the other Weed drinkers. We all share a special bond and now finally, we have a venue to interact with one another.

For the foreseeable future, I will be sharing my thoughts on a host of subjects - politics; horseback riding and racing; air force fighters and the military; fishing; hunting and any other subject that is important to Weed drinkers like us.  I, in turn, hope that you will share your thoughts with me.

I very much look forward to our discourse.

I remain,
Sincerely yours,

Mr. Jeremiah Weed
