John Stamos celebrated his 52 birthday this week by sharing a half-dressed photo of himself, proving that 52 looks great on him!
The actor, Oikos spokesperson, and sometimes musician, had a rocky 51st year. His beloved mother Loretta passed in September 2014, then in June 2015 the actor was charged with driving under the influence in Beverly Hills. However, after a month of taking care of himself, the actor appears to be in a better place and on his way to recovery.
Now, with a new series on Fox, Grandfathered, premiering Septmber 29, plus the much anticipated Netflix series, Fuller House, debuting in 2016, Stamos has much to celebrate as he steps beautifully into 52.
Launch the gallery for more pictures of Stamos, as he celebrate life and love with his mortal friends.

Slideshow: Behind the Scenes at Kings County Distillery, Brooklyn NY
Brooklyn Moonshine & Bourbon
Kings County Distillery is New York City's oldest operating whiskey distillery, the first since before prohibition. Inspired by the moonshining traditions of his home state of Kentucky, master distiller and co-owner Colin Spoelman was intrigued by the challenge of creating a product that no one admits to making. After all, moonshine is, by definition, illegally distilled alcohol. (But don't worry—Colin has all of his paperwork in order, of course!)
After many distilling experimentation, and the passage of new NY state laws that made opening a distillery more profitable, KCD was born. Their moonshine came off the stills and to local distributors very quickly, and after the necessary incubation period of bourbon elapsed, they began bottling and selling their bourbon.
One Room, Many Roles
The tour starts in the combination tasting, aging, and store room. Surrounded by 110 5-gallon barrels of aging bourbon, we get down to spirits. KCD's class D distillery license (a.k.a. farm distillery license, here's the legalese if you're interested) allows them to conduct tastings and retail their tipples on the premises. And those yellow containers? Spent mash that is picked up every week to be fed to the lucky pigs at Arcadia Farm.
Great Grains = Superb Spirits
Moonshine is a simple spirit, recipe-wise. KCD uses corn, barley, yeast, and water, allowing the essence of the ingredients and the art form of distilling to shine. 50% of their grains are required to come from NY state, but the actual percentage is a bit higher. Their organic corn comes from the Finger Lakes region, and they go through about 3,000 pounds of it per month. The malted barley, which contains enzymes critical to fermentation, comes all the way from Scotland.
Using conventional hot plates, corn and water is heated to make a thick porridge. When the mixture hits 155° they throw in the barley.
Cooling and Yeasting
After the mash has been cooked, it's cooled by a window fan. The secret process: a large ladle and lots of elbow grease. Once cooled, it's moved to large containers and yeast is introduced to begin the fermentation process.
The mash is then left to ferment for 7 days. At the end of the week, prest-o change-o, alcohol! The boozy sludge, having reached about 7% abv, is then strained to separate the mash from the wash (mash=water and grain mixture, wash=fermented barley water—the distiller's beer).
Aging the Bourbon
To make their bourbon, KCD fills 5-gallon charred white oak barrels from Minnesota with new make proofed to about 58% abv. After numbering and dating, they take a rest for about 9 months until mature and ready for the bottle.
Say hello to the large stainless steel proofing vessel! KCD adds Poland Spring water to bring their spirits down to bottling proof. While it may give you your daily dose of fluoride, NYC tap water does not good whiskey make.
No, that's not a medieval torture device, it's the tool that KCD uses to hand-bottle all of its products. One at time. Interns are welcome!

Below are HD captures of Emma from last night's episode of AHS: Freak Show entitled Test of Strength. Also check out preview to upcoming episode, which doesn't air til Dec. 3rd!
If you haven't seen actress Emma Roberts making waves on FX's "American Horror Story,", then you've probably seen her red carpet wins and her FOMO-worthy Instagram account.
So when we had the chance to catch up with the Neutrogena brand ambassador in New York City, we knew we wanted to talk about all things style and beauty. While Roberts loves the "idea of a strong brow, great lashes and a red lip," she delved into a topic that we find equally as important: wearing no makeup.
Growing up in the limelight, Roberts said she feels more comfortable in her own, natural skin. "I think I appreciate wearing no makeup more than other people because I have to wear it for work," she said. "I really feel like myself and confident without makeup on."
Roberts' makeup-free philosophy is something that she thinks all women should embrace, saying the confidence that she gains from wiping off her mascara and foundation is something that "all girls should feel."
Roberts is among many stars, including Jordin Sparks and Beyoncé, who have championed fresh-faced looks through selfies, makeup-free magazine covers and more.

South Foreland Lighthouse
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
The first lighthouse to use an electric light
A landmark of the White Cliffs, the Victorian lighthouse was built to warn mariners of shifting sands and guide them through the Strait of Dover. A place of innovation and science, the lighthouse was the first to display an electric light anywhere in the world.
Today you can still enjoy views of the channel to the French coast by climbing all the way to the top. See what it was like to work here and what a lighthouse keeper did while on duty. Wave to ships in the channel and watch the Victorian clockwork mechanism that made the lighthouse flash.
Or for a more relaxing time just borrow a kite from us or play one of our games on the lawn. You can step back in time at Mrs Knott's Tea-room, in the former lighthouse keeper's cottage, and remember another world of bone china and proper leaf tea, just as it used to be.
Time for tea
Have you tried our tearoom? We really think that it's one of the best. All of our cakes and sandwiches are home-made and with loose leaf tea, bone chine cups and chinz wallpaper; you'll think that you've travelled back in time.
- We're now open Friday to Monday, 11-5pm until the end of October.
Family fun at the lighthouse
The lighthouse is a great place to visit with your family. You can take a family friendly tour of the lighthouse, fly a kite in the grounds or play games on the lawn.
Thinking about volunteering? Why not get in touch with us, we've got loads of great volunteering opportunities from lighthouse guides to tearoom assistants. Just give us a call on 01304 207326 or e-mail us, to get some more information.
Our history
Take a walk thought the history of this remarkable building. From beacon to warn sailors of dangerous sands to scientific experiments, the lighthouse has a surprising and interesting past.

Oklahoma football: Sooners from Kansas ready for Wildcats
So why Oklahoma?
"It's a prestigious school," O'Hara said. "And of course, my mother and her opinion of K-State."
Phillips, though, came from a Kansas State family. His No. 2 choice was actually to go to Manhattan, Kan. Phillips said he went to nearly every home game while he was being recruited.
Growing up, he was never dressed up in purple, but his aunt and his uncle are die-hard K-State fans. Phillips talked about his aunt's and uncle's feelings on his decision to become a Sooner.
"I wouldn't say disappointed," he said. "They were happy ... but they were really disappointed."
They're actually coming to the game this weekend and wearing purple.
"Wearing their purple. Yeah they are," Phillips said. "Oh, they're not sitting in the family section."
Phillips is also from a small Kansas town. His is named Towanda. Population? 1,450.
So why did he want to come to Oklahoma?
"I just wanted to win," Phillips said.
On Saturday, Phillips and Green will play in their first game against Kansas State. It will also be the first Big 12 game of their careers.
"A lot of people from my hometown are big K-State fans," Green said. "It being a farming community and Kansas State being a big agricultural school. They're excited for the game and so am I. It's something I've been waiting for for a long time."

The leader of Syria's main opposition group sought to allay Western fears Thursday that terrorists have infiltrated the rebel movement in the war-torn nation, as U.S. officials touted a new plan to ship meals and medical supplies — but not weapons — to those fighting to overthrow President Bashar Assad.
Mouaz al-Khatib, chairman of the Syrian Opposition Council, said "no terrorist in the world have such a savage nature as that of the Syrian regime."
"The mass media pay more attention to the length of the beard of a fighter than to the massacres" being committed against innocent Syrians by government forces loyal to Mr. Assad, Mr. al-Khatib said during a news conference with Secretary of State John F. Kerry in Rome.
His remarks underscore the sensitivity of the policy shift being undertaken this week by the Obama administration, which has for months resisted offering weapons or any other direct aid to the rebels amid concern that it would be siphoned off by al Qaeda-linked or other militant Islamist groups.
Under the new policy, Mr. Kerry said, the administration is committed to extending "food and medical supplies" to the fighters associated with Mr. al-Khatib's coalition. Additionally, the secretary of state said, the U.S. will be providing $60 million in immediate aid to "support the coalition in its operational needs day to day as it continues to organize."
The announcement drew praise from some lawmakers in Washington — even among those calling for the White House to get more aggressively and deeply involved in the Syrian crisis by directly arming the rebels.
"I think what Secretary Kerry announced is a good first step," said Rep. Eliot L. Engel, the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who made headlines this week by declaring his intention to introduce a bill that would authorize President Obama to go further by backing the rebels with American military hardware.
"I do think that, ultimately, we are going to have to provide some kind of weapons," Mr. Engel said during an appearance Thursday on MSNBC.
Also appearing on the network was Rep. Edward R. Royce, California Republican and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who echoed Mr. Engel's remarks, saying that deeper U.S. involvement in Syria is necessary to "counterbalance" support that Iran is believed to be providing to Mr. Assad.
"Iran has forces on the ground, assisting Assad, as does Hezbollah," said Mr. Royce, who added that the Obama administration's new policy will help to "expedite the time frame in which Assad is removed" and "cut off Iran's last Arab ally that exists in the Middle East."
But Mr. Royce also praised the Obama administration's approach, suggesting that it leaves open the door for wider cooperation with allies in the European Union, which voted recently to extend a ban on shipping weapons to Syrian rebels.
Others, including Republican Sens. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina and John McCain of Arizona, have for months called on the Obama administration to get more deeply involved by shipping arms directly to the rebels. The Republicans have seemed undeterred by concerns that American aid — be it lethal or nonlethal — could end up in the hands of terrorists.
Such concerns, however, continue to sit at the heart of a debate that has long divided the administration's most senior foreign policy and national security advisers about how best to respond to the crisis in Syria.
State Department officials engaged in a delicate rhetorical dance around the issue Thursday as Mr. Kerry headed into a private meeting with Mr. al-Khatib and Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi.
"We are concerned that we have extremists operating in and among the opposition who don't share the goals of a future Syria that is democratic," one senior State Department official told reporters on the condition of anonymity.

|Lucic has new goal: 20 of them
|09.21.10 at 12:39 pm ET
Milan Lucic is entering the first year of a three-year deal with an annual cap hit of $4.008 million. Though just 22 years of age, the physical forward will play the 2010-11 season as the fourth-highest paid member of the Bruins, behind only Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas, and Patrice Bergeron. As he trains with teammates for what he hopes is a more healthy campaign than his 50-game 2009-10, he hopes to make himself worth every dime of his contract. In particular, he hopes to find the back of the net more.
In three NHL seasons, Lucic's career high in goals came in the 2008-09 season, one in which he added 25 assists in his 77 games for a career-best 42 points.
"I feel like have the ability to help contribute to this team a little bit more," Lucic said Tuesday. "I still in my three years haven't been able to hit the 20-goal mark. I feel like that's a realistic goal for me this year and that's a personal goal that I should be able to meet.
"In saying that, I shouldn't just be thinking that way. If I start thinking 'goal, goal, goal, goals' and just getting points, that's when my play starts to suffer. I think if I'm just moving my feet and playing physical, everything else tends to fall into place. I think going into my fourth year, what I really want to do is try to be the best player on the ice on a more consistent level. I think that's the challenge for myself and that's what I'm going to be looking forward to doing this year."
Lucic added that he hopes to spend more time on the power play. With much being made of the Tyler Seguin–Mark Recchi connection as far as learning the trick of the trade as a young player, Lucic freely admitted that when it comes to making a difference with a man advantage, he's still taking notes from the veteran.
"There's a lot to learn from Mark Recchi, who does such a great job in front of the net with tips and just establishing body presence. For a little guy like him, he's able to establish really good body presence in front of the net. I've learned a lot from him and I'm still learning," Lucic said. "Hopefully I can translate that into this year."
|If you don't know Nathan Horton's face yet, you soon will
|09.15.10 at 12:10 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The process of acclimation continues for Nathan Horton, who has been out there for each of the Bruins' captains practice. Though he will technically be a newcomer come Friday's opening of training camp, Horton, acquired in June from the Panthers, has been everywhere for the Bruins since arriving in town. In addition to his aforementioned attendance on the ice, he's participated in charity events and has thrown out the first pitch at Fenway Park.
One of his more recent adventures around New England came Monday, when he and Milan Lucic delivered tickets to a season-ticket holder. Though his teammates are plenty familiar with the winger, Horton understands the fans may not quite have his mug memorized.
"We did surprise them. I'm not sure they knew somebody was coming, and then it was me and Milan," Horton said. "[I don't think] they know my face real well, but they know him and they were pretty excited."
Wednesday night Horton will try his luck in Marco Sturm's charity poker tournament. Though the getting-to-know-you process has been an enjoyable ride thus far, Horton's ready to get down to business on Friday.
"It hasn't started yet," Horton said of his new job. "It's been fun till now, but once Friday comes I think it will be a little more serious. It's been fun though. I get to do a lot of stuff and see a lot of the things in Boston."
|Lucic has advice for Seguin, excited for Savard
|09.08.10 at 1:01 pm ET
WILMINGTON — It wasn't too long ago that left wing Milan Lucic was the most popular Bruins rookie. Now preparing for his fourth season in the NHL, the 22-year-old Lucic can look back on his experience in the 2007-08 season and offer some perspective on what second overall pick Tyler Seguin might go through with the Bruins this year.
"I remember my first year, there were things I needed to do to adjust to this level and adjust to this game," Lucic said. "There was stuff that I worked on for the first three months that I was here, just little things. You just can't get frustrated when things aren't going your way, you've just got to keep working at it.
"One thing that I always looked at when I was young like that, I just went out there and played. I didn't want to let any type of expectations or any type of pressures get to me. I just wanted to go out there and play and have fun with it and enjoy the time that I was here."
Seguin isn't the only newcomer Lucic is psyched about. Lucic is generally grinning at all times, but he spoke with a great deal of excitement when asked about Nathan Horton.
"He's a big body. He can skate and he can score," Lucic said of Horton. "That's the expectations on him is just to do that. Obviously, he's going to be a big part of our team and big part of the right wingers. Hopefully it doesn't take him too long to find his game in our system here. We've got some pretty good centermen here that we can match him up with, so I'm sure he'll be fine."
The centerman figured to be the best match with Horton might be Marc Savard, who was reportedly shopped by the team at points during the offseason. The rumors led to Savard admitting that he was "hurt" by the idea of the team trading him, but Lucic has been in contact with his friend this summer and has been training harder than he ever has in anticipation of the 2010-11 season.
Though Lucic said he's excited to see what kind of shape Savard in is after such a good offseason, he is first and foremost glad that none of what was written about Savard came true.
"Clearly they were all rumors," Lucic said. "Everyone's different, everyone takes it different. Obviously, Savvy took it the way he did and his feelings were a little bit hurt. I'm happy that he's still a part of this team because I felt in the three years I've been here, he's been one of the guys that I've been closest with, and obviously we have our special bond off and on the ice. I'm happy that he's back and I hope he's happy that he's still around, too."
Lucic played in only 50 games last year due to a nagging ankle injury but is skating now with any hindrance or tape. He felt he was able to get into a groove in the playoffs, when he had nine points in 13 games, and feels that if he can keep it up, he'll be effective as ever.
"I felt like at the end of the season there against Philly, I felt like I played my best hockey and I thought I was good and strong with the puck, being able to be hard with the puck and be that physical presence," Lucic said. "It's basically the same thing. Just go out there and do that. If I'm just being a physical presence out there, everything always seems to take care of itself."
|Slideshow: Putts and Punches for Parkinson's
|08.09.10 at 10:51 pm ET
WEEI.com was on hand for Shawn Thornton's first annual Putts and Punches for Parkinson's golf tournament, which means photographer John Vu was snapping plenty of pictures at Ferncroft Country Club in Middleton. Here is the slideshow of the event, which also featured Bruins forward Milan Lucic and goaltender Tuukka Rask (click the picture to begin). For the full low-down on the event and what it meant to Thornton, whose grandmother passed away from Parkinson's, click here.
|Bruins can hear the hype
|at 7:22 pm ET
MIDDLETON — Eighty-something days after the Flyers eliminated the Bruins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Bruins Shawn Thornton, Milan Lucic, and Tuukka Rask took to the golf course for Parkinson's disease, re-energized on the tail end of the offseason. Frustration and shock that stained the end of the season seems to have washed away, and for good reason.
The Bruins infamously let the Flyers erase a 3-0 series lead and allowed Philadelphia to advance to the conference finals, where they would defeat the Canadiens.
"[It was] really hard. Obviously when something like that happens, it stays in for a long time, but you've just got to realize what happened and learn from that," Rask said Monday. "I think if we're ever in the same kind of situation again, we're much stronger as a team and as individuals for [learning] from that situation."
Since things ended for the Bruins, though, the team started on a course to fill whatever perceived holes they had while also retaining its core group of guys.
Though the team finished sixth in the conference with 91 points last season and were viewed as somewhat of a regular season disappointment, in coming within a game of playing for a shot to represent the East, the Bruins confirmed to Boston their legitimacy as a team with significant playoff potential. As a result, fans have overlooked the loss to the Flyers and instead have zeroed in on how close the Bruins appear to be. Whether it be adding Tyler Seguin and Nathan Horton or bringing back Mark Recchi, Blake Wheeler, Thornton, and key guys on defense, something has sent a jolt of life into Boston's fanbase and the Bruins are noticing.

|Flyers help Bruins make dubious history
|05.14.10 at 9:33 pm ET
Summary — The Flyers became just the third team in the history of the National Hockey League to come back from a 3-0 series deficit and win a seven-game series, in the process coming back from a 3-0 first-period hole to score four straight goals to advance to the Eastern Conference finals with a 4-3 win over the Bruins at TD Garden on Friday night.
Tuukka Rask was the loser for Boston, allowing the four Flyers goals on 27 shots. Michael Leighton overcame a shaky first period to put the clamps down on the Bruins season with 25 saves. Simon Gagne scored the game-winner at 12:52 in the third period on the power play after the B's were whistled for too many men on the ice.
The Bruins struck first (and, for that matter, second and third), jumping to an early lead eight seconds into a power play after Scott Hartnell went to the box for a high sticking call on Matt Hunwick in the neutral zone at 5:18 in the first period. Boston wasted no time, controlling the puck on the face off and getting a couple attempts on Leighton. The second — of the stick of Zdeno Chara — rebounded down to the right dot, where Michael Ryder sent it right back on the crease past a hopping Mark Recchi and the Bruins were off and running at 5:27.
Boston made it 2-0, again on the power play, at 9:02 when a broken rush through the neutral zone ended up in a reset by Dennis Wideman, who decided to take it all the way down the right wing into the corner and send it back towards the crease where Milan Lucic timed his crash perfectly to bang it past Leighton for the two-goal advantage before the first period was halfway over.
Leighton would let in a third straight Boston goal at at 14:10 as Lucic struck again when he turned a giveaway into a lamplighter when he rushed all the way down the right wing and let off a snap shot by the right faceoff dot that went five-hole and made TD Garden erupt.
But the Flyers, remarkably, refused to concede defeat. James Van Riemsdyk fought hard to the right of Rask, leveling Wideman and getting a broken-play dribbler under the net minder's left pad for a soft goal that made it 3-1 at 17:12 in the first. It was Van Riemsdyk's first career playoff goal in his second professional season (first in the NHL) coming out of the University of New Hampshire.
The Flyers made it a one-goal game early in the second period on an even strength play where Danny Briere was able to penetrate the Rask's crease after Ville Leino put the puck deep. Briere did a spin-o-rama and put the puck across the crease, where Andrew Ference could not put a stick on it at the goal line and Scott Hartnell flipped it back over Rask at 2:49.
The comeback was complete when Briere struck on his own, this time with the assist from Hartnell at 8:39 of the second period. Briere came back down around the net and did a wrap-around on Rask that rattled through the net and back out the other side to tie the game at three. The play was reviewed but it was conclusive that Briere had put the puck in the net and Boston had relinquished another 3-0 lead in the series.
Three Stars
Simon Gagne — His Game 4 return from a broken toe made all the difference for the Flyers in this series as he scored his second game-winner of the series to complete the series comeback.
Danny Briere — Perpetual thorn in the Bruins side was instrumental in getting the Flyers back in the game as his goal and assist in the second period were the answer Philadelphia was looking for after it went down 3-0 in the first.
Milan Lucic — Two first period goals got TD Garden pumping as the Boston forward set the stage for the excitement that was to come.
Turning Point — When Briere and Hartnell teamed up to take over in the second period. The pair was able to bring the Flyers back from the brink as the Bruins went soft in front of Rask. The wily center and his large wingman were able to get deep into the crease twice to tie the game and give the Flyers a chance to win it in the third period.
Key Play — The Bruins took a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty at 11:10 of the third period, which set the Flyers up to score the go-ahead goal by Gagne when he found the puck on the right dot in front of Rask for the wrist shot top shelf to bury Boston and its Stanley Cup dreams once and for all.
|1st Period Summary: Bruins vs. Flyers Game 7
|at 7:54 pm ET
Those wondering whether Milan Lucic's goal in the final 60 seconds of Game 6 would carry over to Game 7 didn't have to wait too long for their answer.
Lucic had two goals in the opening 20 minutes of Game 7 as the Bruins took a 3-1 lead in what appears to be turning into a no-holds barred affair.
The Bruins put on a heavy forecheck, forced the Flyers into two high sticking penalties and took advantage of the great energy in TD Garden to gain early momentum and – more importantly – the lead.
Michael Ryder put the Bruins up on top when he took control of the puck in the lower right circle and turned and fired a shot that beat Michael Leighton five-hole for a 1-0 lead at 5:27
Johnny Boychuk skated deep with the puck and just before crossing the end line to the right of Leighton, fed a beautiful pass to Milan Lucic, who stuffed it past Leighton inside the left post.
The goal at 9:02 was fourth of the playoffs for Lucic and the second power play tally in as many chances for the Bruins.
But Lucic was hardly done. Just over five minutes later, he took off with Miroslav Satan from the Bruins blue line as the Flyers lost possession of the puck and skated right for the shell-shocked Leighton. His shot beat the Flyers goalie low for his fifth of the postseason and it was 3-0.
And it could've been worse for the Flyers, who called their timeout after the third goal. One shot hit the right post and another hit the crossbar as the Bruins spent most of the period deep in the Flyers zone.
James Van Riemsdyk gave the Flyers a pulse at 17:12, the first career playoff goal for the UNH product.
The Bruins outshot the Flyers, 14-8, in the opening 20 minutes.

March 2, 2015 – A hearing originally scheduled for today in the proposed class-action lawsuit against Maker's Mark has been cancelled. U.S. District Court Judge John Houston issued an order canceling the hearing on a motion by attorneys for Maker's Mark to dismiss the lawsuit accusing the Bourbon brand of misleading California consumers with claims that it is "hand-made" at the Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. Judge Houston's order states that the court has enough information from both sides to issue his ruling on the order without oral arguments, with a ruling expected "in due course."
The lawsuit was filed in December by lawyers representing plaintiffs Safora Nowruzi and Travis Williams, with a request to expand the plaintiff class to include all California residents who purchased Maker's Mark within the past four years. The suit claims that Maker's Mark labeling violates California's false advertising and consumer protection laws by billing the Bourbon as "hand-made," when it comes from a distillery using extensive amounts of machinery. The lawsuit seeks at least $5 million in damages, along with punitive damages and attorneys' fees.
In its motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed January 16, attorneys for Maker's Mark and brand owner Beam Suntory argued that the complaint falls within California's "safe harbor" doctrine protecting businesses from claims, since all of the brand's labels with the "hand-made" language have been reviewed and approved by the US Treasury Department's Tax & Trade Bureau. In addition, the motion argued that a reasonable consumer would not be misled by the labeling.
"The reasonable consumer analysis starts, of course, with common sense. And common sense dictates that "handmade" bourbon does not mean, as Plaintiffs would have it, that every step of the process—from grinding the grain to affixing the label on the bottle—was done by hand and without the use of any machinery. Moreover, as evident from Plaintiffs' own allegations and information referenced in their Complaint, the Maker's Mark label could not have misled a reasonable consumer to believe that the entire process for making the bourbon was done by hand, because Maker's Mark publicly discloses its process for making bourbon. Indeed, as Plaintiffs allege in their Complaint, Maker's Mark's public website contains detailed information about the production process. What's more, the Maker's Mark label expressly invites consumers to visit its website and contains the website address. Given these facts, a reasonable consumer could not plausibly believe that the bourbon is literally made entirely by hand and without the use of any machinery."
In their response, attorneys Abbas Kazerouni, Mona Amini, and Joshua Swigart argued that the "safe harbor" defense does not apply in this case, since it is intended to cover laws and regulations, not agency actions such as a TTB label approval process.
"It would contravene public policy and reason in general to immunize an alcohol manufacturer from consumer fraud suits because the labels of its products had been approved by the TTB. Unlike, for example, the FDA's "rigorous" pre-approval process for drugs, the TTB's approval of alcohol labels hinges on self-reporting. 2 Thus, the TTB's approval of Defendant's label demonstrates nothing more than that Defendant repeatedly affirmed to the TTB that its product is truly handmade. It does not suggest that if the TTB had known the true process by which Maker's Mark was actually made, it would have concluded that Defendant's label complied with federal law."
The two firms have also filed a similar lawsuit against Beam Suntory's Jim Beam brand based on similar claims. Beam Suntory spokesmen have declined to comment on either case, citing a company policy against commenting on pending litigation.
Editor's note: We have provided links in this story to the actual court filings in the lawsuit. Note that in civil cases, the arguments made by either side are not considered to be proven as fact until argued in open court.

March 1, 2015 – For Bourbon lovers, it seems like the "Bourbon Boom" has been going on forever. Not true, according to Chris Bauder, general manager of Whiskies and Cognacs for Beam Suntory. During his keynote address at last Tuesday's Whiskies & Spirits Conference in New York City, Bauder pointed out that US whiskey sales have only risen in three of the last 25 years — the last three. By comparison, vodka sales have risen in 23 of the last 25 years and tequila sales have risen for 23 consecutive years. "When people ask if this is a trend that is going to continue, we think it has a very long runway," he said, citing recent sales figures showing growth among all sectors of the whisky industry.
Bauder points to several key factors for the "Bourbon Boom." Whisky's recent return to relevance as a cultural touchpoint through references on popular television shows such as "Mad Men" and "Boardwalk Empire" helped draw attention back to brown spirits, leading to the often-cited growth in interest among women. Bauer cited a demographic shift showing that more women now drink spirits in general than men, with a relatively even split between the genders in whisky consumption. He also referred to the emphasis on innovation and new product development, with the recent trend in flavored whiskies and the growth of craft distillers opening up the flavor profile of whisky to new consumers. At the other end, the boom in premium and unique expressions are bringing connoisseurs back to the Bourbon sector.
Listen to Mark Gillespie's interview with Chris Bauder:
Before joining Beam in 2011, Bauder was a senior marketing executive at consumer goods giant S.C. Johnson & Co., and learned quickly that solving the perceived shortage of whisky isn't as simple as that for other products. "If you want more Windex, you put more chemicals and water together and you get more Windex," he said in an interview following his speech. "That was a revelation…wait a minute, how can this allocation be what it is," referring to small supplies of whiskies from Beam Suntory's distilleries and the need to balance global demand with short supply.
Bauder said Beam Suntory will invest hundreds of millions of dollars over the next several years to expand whisky production at all of its facilities worldwide, but cautioned consumers to expect more whiskies without age statements. "Everybody…Scotland, Japan, and the US are struggling with this, and one of the things that's been encouraging is brands like (The) Macallan which first did it have actually been quite successful because the liquid's good and the way they blend has actually given them a good taste, plus the concept around the naming has been really interesting to consumers."
"I think talking people away from age statements is helpful…it's an easy way to think older is better, but brands like Maker's Mark or Woodford Reserve haven't traded in age statements and they're doing just fine."
In 2014, Beam Suntory removed the 8-year-old age statement from its Jim Beam Black Bourbon and introduced the no-age-statement Laphroaig Select, and Bauder said that practice will be extended to Beam Suntory's Hibiki range this year. "You're going to see your first one coming in July of this year in the US, and they're going to be launching in April in Japan." Bauder also confirmed that Beam Suntory plans to expand its Japanese whisky portfolio across the US. In the past, Suntory and its US importers focused on a handful of major cities, but part of the reason for Suntory's $16 billion acquisition of Beam in 2014 was to expand the footprint for its Japanese whiskies as well as acquire new brands for global distribution.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to remove Chris Bauder's reference to a Yamazaki Sherry Cask bottling being planned for a US release in 2015. According to a company spokesman, Bauder misspoke, and there are no plans to release one this year.

February 28, 2015 – Whistlepig Rye will be releasing the first in its "Old World Series" of three wine cask-finished expressions in the coming days leading up to a new permanent expression this summer. The first release will be a 12-year-old Sauternes cask finish, with a 12-year-old Madeira finish and a 12-year-old Port finish to follow.
"By June, we're going to release the first real line extension, and that line extension will be a married finish that combines the best of the Sauternes, Port, and Madeira," said Master Distiller Dave Pickerell during an interview at Whisky Live New York Wednesday night. "I can't tell you the percentages, because the percentages will be at least in part determined by the feedback from consumers and bartenders that taste the products." While the final version will be widely available, the three individual finishes will only be available in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and other major US markets.
Listen to Mark Gillespie's entire interview with Dave Pickerell:
Pricing for the three individual finishes was not immediately available.
Pickerell said construction work continues on the WhistlePig Farm Distillery in Vermont following final environmental approvals from the state. The stills are scheduled to be installed in June, and Pickerell hopes to begin distilling around July 4th. "I intend to celebrate with a marching band and fireworks," he said.
WhistlePig is also updating its labels to reflect the whisky's current Canadian origin at the request of the US Treasury Department's Tax & Trade Bureau. Ironically, the TTB had earlier insisted that the Canadian origin be removed from WhistlePig labels once Pickerell's team started doing secondary maturation at the farm in Vermont. "The government came back and said wait a minute, it's not a product of Canada any more because the Canadian juice is now an ingredient, so take 'Product of Canada' off the label," Pickerell said. "With all the fluff that's been going on recently, the government came back and said, yeah, can you put Canada back on the label again…so it makes us look stupid."
Pickerell is also working with Hillrock Estate Distillery in New York on a peated single malt that will be released later this year, and is also working with the J. Reiger & Co. Distillery in Kansas City. In addition, he will be making whiskey at George Washington's Distillery at Mount Vernon in Virginia later this month.

February 26, 2015 – Duncan Elphick's retirement plans are on hold for at least a month. The owner of the Highlander Inn and its renowned whisky bar had planned to close on a sale to longtime colleague Tatsuya Minagawa this weekend. However, paperwork snags have delayed the closing until at least the end of March.
"I'm wanting to get out and enjoy some time for myself, and Tatsuya's wanting to buy it," Elphick told WhiskyCast's Mark Gillespie in a telephone interview today. "We're going through the process at the moment…it's been a bit delayed because of lawyers, but we're now looking at the 30th of March as being the handover date." Elphick said health issues a couple of years ago prompted him to start looking for a buyer to continue the tradition he started when he left the Craigellachie Inn across the street in 2005 to buy the hotel. "I want some time for me before the Grim Reaper decides that he wants to call me."
Minagawa was Elphick's bar manager and right-hand man from 2005 until three years ago, when he left to work as a European brand ambassador for Suntory. He continued to live in Craigellachie, though, and expressed an interest in taking over the inn as soon as he heard Elphick was thinking of selling. "He's the ideal purchaser for the property, because he knows the business, he knows these whiskies, he knows what we've been doing before, and he wants to take it and build it further," Elphick said.
Elphick hasn't decided on what he will do after his retirement, noting that "I'm not one of these people that likes to count eggs until they're hatched."

February 25, 2015 – Production is scheduled to resume later today at Diageo's Burghead Maltings in Moray, Scotland, following a fire inside one of the facility's kilns Tuesday night. Firefighters from as far away as Inverness spent about 12 hours fighting the fire at the facility, which supplies malted barley for Diageo's malt whisky distilleries in the Speyside region.
A Diageo spokesman told WhiskyCast via email that the fire was confined to one of the facility's seven kilns, which are used to dry wet barley at the conclusion of the malting process. The damage is reported as minor, and there were no injuries reported.
There is no word on what caused the fire.

February 24, 2015 – For the first time, Irish Distillers will release a special version of Midleton finished in virgin Irish Oak casks made of trees harvested from sustainably-managed forests. Midleton Dair Ghaelach is the result of a project that began six years ago when Master Blender Billy Leighton and Master of Maturation Kevin O'Gorman led a group of colleagues in trying to produce a whiskey using native Irish Oak.
The wood came from Ballaghtobin Estate in County Kilkenny, where ten 130-year-old Irish oak trees from Grinsell's Wood were harvested in April of 2012. The wood was sent to Spain for drying and coopering, and the resulting casks were filled with a blend of Midleton from ex-Bourbon casks between 15 and 22 years old for almost a year of finishing. Each cask will be bottled separately, with bottling strengths of between 58.1% and 58.5% ABV.
Dair Ghaelach is the first in a series of single pot still Whiskies from Midleton to be finished in virgin Irish Oak. The whiskey will be available in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, and South Africa with a recommended retail price of $250 USD. There are no plans to make the initial release available in the US.
February 23, 2015 – Duncan Taylor & Company's Black Bull Blended Scotch Whisky is hitting the track for the third straight season with the Ecurie Ecosse sports car team, and for the first time, the brand is marking the partnership with a special bottling. Black Bull Racer's Reserve is a 21-year-old blend that was created in partnership with the team's four drivers following a 2013 nosing and blending session in Huntly. The drivers selected casks from Springbank, Bladnoch, Glen Moray, and Royal Brackla, as well as other malt and grain whiskies to be used in the blend.
Ecurie Ecosse's Black Bull BMW Z4 GT3 will compete in the Blancpain Endurance Series for the second consecutive season after making its initial debut in the European Le Mans Series in 2013. The team is best-known for winning in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1956 and 1957, along with sports car championships in the 1980's and 1990's.
The Racer's Reserve is bottled at 50% ABV, and is available in the UK through Master of Malt and Single Malt Direct. It is also available in other markets, though according to Duncan Taylor's Peter Currie, there are currently no plans to make it available in the US.

February 21, 2015 – A California law firm is doubling down in its legal fight against Beam Suntory over claims that two of the company's Bourbons are "hand-made." Costa Mesa-based Kazerouni Law Group has filed a class-action lawsuit in US District Court in San Diego on behalf of a consumer who claims he was misled by the "hand-crafted" label on Jim Beam Bourbon. The lawsuit seeks to include all California consumers who purchased Jim Beam over the previous four years, and asks for at least five million dollars in damages in addition to legal fees.
Kazerouni Law Group filed a similar suit against Beam Suntory-owned Maker's Mark in December on the same grounds. Both lawsuits accuse the whisky brands of violating California state laws on false advertising and unfair competition, and allege that consumers paid more for the two whiskies than they would have because of the labels' claims that they were hand-made. Both suits rely on images, video, and documents from the brands' web sites showing the various steps in the distilling process.
Lawyers for Beam Suntory have already filed a motion seeking to dismiss the lawsuit against Maker's Mark. The company issued a statement after the suit against Jim Beam to the Lexington Herald-Leader that nearly matches the one provided to WhiskyCast in December following the Maker's Mark lawsuit word for word:
"This claim is frivolous. We will defend our case vigorously and we are confident that we will prevail. Beyond that, as a matter of company policy, we don't comment on the details of matters in litigation."
No hearing date has been set, and lawyers for Beam Suntory have not yet filed their response to the second lawsuit. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
Editor's note: Court filings in civil cases present only one side of a story, and any claims made in a filing are not proven as factual until subject to cross-examination and rebuttal during a trial. A complete copy of this lawsuit is available to review at the WhiskyCast web site.
February 19, 2015 – Irish craft distiller Glendalough has added a new whiskey to its range, the single grain Double Barrel. The whiskey is distilled from a mash of malted barley and corn using Glendalough's traditional Coffey still, then matured for three and a half years in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels. The final step is an additional six months of maturation in Oloroso Sherry casks.
Double Barrel is bottled at 42% ABV, and will initially be available in Ireland for around €35 ($40 USD). It is believed to be the first whiskey release from Glendalough distilled at the Wicklow-area distillery, which has released 7 and 13-year-0ld Irish single malts sourced from other distilleries in addition to its own poitins and gins.

The Dorset region
Few areas of the UK, or even Europe, have a lure greater than the beautiful South West. From dramatic Dartmoor to the stunning coastline that never fails to leave visitors wishing they could stay just that little bit longer. While away your days in market towns and quaint villages that retain their tradition whilst now offering fine dining and excellent shopping, or leave the townships behind and head to any one of the outstanding sandy beaches that dot the coast. It's impossible not to fall in love with lazy, relaxed South West, its scenery, attractions, and it's otherworldly pace of life.

A European research project led by the Environmental and Energy Management Research Unit of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, is developing complex indicators to measure the impact of eco-innovative technologies on ecosystems.
The EcoWater project, says coordinator Professor Dionysis Assimacopoulos of NTUA, will fill a gap in current frameworks for assessing the impact of technologies. It will be a "scientific approach that allows us to assess technological innovations that could reduce environmental impacts on the meso-level, and the economic performance of those technologies," he says.
The meso-level means the system level, as compared to the micro level (for example, a factory or company), or the macro-level (for example, a country). EcoWater is developing indicators for agricultural water systems, urban water systems, and for use of water by four industrial sectors: cars, the dairy industry, textiles and power generation.
The analysis done by the project goes beyond environmental footprinting, or beyond environmental management tools such as ISO 14000, which deal with specific processes or activities. The framework being developed by EcoWater will take an holistic view, allowing the impact of environmental technologies on whole systems to be assessed. "We need to take into account all the impacts, from the start up to the end point in our system. We estimate not only the environmental impact, but we also try to estimate the added value that is produced because of the water use," Assimacopoulos says.
The project runs until October 2014. It will develop a series of case studies demonstrating the use of meso-level indicators. It will for example study the agricultural irrigation system of Sinistra Ofanto in south-east Italy, and urban water use in Sofia, Bulgaria, where assessments will be done of the economic and environmental impacts of a range of technologies, including pumping systems, materials used in water pipes and wastewater treatment technologies.
In each case the project will build up a "total view of how the system behaves," Assimacopoulos says. The indicators will enable a better understanding of the best points within the system for intervention with environmental technologies and, by evaluating the costs and benefits, will allow for better allocation of costs to to parties involved in water systems. The project should help decision-makers decide which technologies to choose to reduce the pressure on ecosystems. "We aim to make policy recommendations for technology uptake mechanisms," Assimacopoulos says.
