Diageo is pushing the new law, and while their motives are murky (Dickel is already made in compliance with the current standards), please don’t think that this is some corporate ninja assault by Diageo on long-time tradition. First off, in a remarkably amateur mistake, Brown-Forman lists the wrong house and senate bill numbers!
