It's probably just rebadged synthahol.

Supposedly Shatner has a horse farm in the Versailles, KY area - that's Woodford County, which has some distilleries. So I can't help thinking maybe that's a factor in Kirk getting hooked up with the Bourbon biz

It reminds me of a bit in Mark Twain's 'A Tramp Abroad': 'What, Sir, you don't like this wine label? I have another here in my pocket, let's put that one on and see how you like it.'

Following the link, at the bottom of the page, they list several cities, none in Kentucky. So there goes my Shatner/Versailles-Woodford County theory.


>> New York, Chicago, Dallas, Charlotte, Knoxville, Hollywood, Atlanta

The fine print in the website says it's a blended whiskey from several producers (naming none - which is typical) and several ages.

Blended ??
Sounds awful and devoid of real character like most Canadian whiskey.
Single Malt Scotch and Single Barrel Bourbon are what I call "decent" beverages.

I vaguely remember a scene in one of the TNG movies or TV episodes where Jean Luc Picard is home in France in the family vineyards. So a Jean Luc Picard Vin Rose might sell among the Trekkers, if someone hasn't thought of it already. Speaking of which, who was the genius who hired an actor with a British accent to play a French star ship captain? One of the incongruities that really irked me. And wasn't the actor who played the holographic doctor in Voyager named Picardo? Coincidence, or.........?
