!JuneShine Acquiring Flying Embers! *Breaking this a.m. in Craft Business Daily*: A pair of budding beyond beer brands are coming together, as JuneShine has announced the acquisition of Flying Embers. The purchase, which is set to close in coming days, is “an all-stock transaction” and is exclusive to the Flying Embers brand, trademarks and distribution rights. The combination of portfolios makes for a dominant player in the hard kombucha category and beyond beer: The two brands together will now represent “63% of all hard kombucha sold” in total U.S., “the 14th largest beyond beer & spirit based RTD brand family” across the States, and the “6th” biggest beyond beer & spirit based RTD brand fam in California, per announcement this morning. All in, JuneShine will now be about a 116,000-barrel or 1.6 million case supplier. Three interesting points from the article: 1.    The deal is for Flying Embers brand, trademark, and distro rights, not the FE brewery. This is about consolidation for efficiencies, scale, profitability “Our brewery’s not as nice as theirs,” Greg said. “They have a Ferrari, we have an old Tacoma,” he quipped, but the old Tacoma “gets the job done and it can make [Flying Embers] product” in a “very efficient” manner. After the deal, “we’ll probably be at about 75% capacity,” Greg said of their production facility in Scripps Ranch. “I think there’s some levers we can pull to increase our capacity, but yeah, we’re starting to fill the space out.”   2.    They don’t plan to immediately align wholesaler footprints. Flying Embers in in more states than JuneShine, but in common markets, they have “pretty good wholesaler overlap,” say Greg and Forrest.  “I don’t anticipate making any immediate changes to that,” said Greg, as they find it “disruptive.”   3.    Flying Embers founder Bill Moses (who also co-founded probiotic beverage co. Kevita and sold to PepsiCo in 2016) will be part of a newly created board of directors, along with co-founders Forrest Dein and Greg Serrao. But what about Beam Suntory’s previous funding in Flying Embers? It appears that investment will simply carry over. Bill Moses tells CBD in a statement that “Beam Suntory is a shareholder in Flying Embers and will therefore have an interest in JS Brands.”   Here’s a couple throwbacks (!!) to our Beernet Radio pods with both companies: JS with Greg Serrao and Forrest Dein, and FE with Bill Moses and Liz Tomic, both episodes two years old. Here's to the future. https://lnkd.in/gcUEceus https://lnkd.in/gY7Pr8Ze

Flexibility of Cask Strength Whisky to Suit Your Tastes Cask strength whisky is special because it comes straight from the barrel without any water added. Usually, whisky makers add water to make the taste the same every time. But with cask strength, nothing is added or taken away. It's just as it was in the barrel. The great thing about cask strength whisky is that you get to choose how strong you want it to taste. You can add a little water, a lot of water, or no water at all. This way, you can make your drink taste exactly how you like it. It's really fun and gives you many options.  #whisky #WhiskyCask #whiskyinvestment #investmentopportunity #investments #rarewhisky #WhiskyInvestment #caskinvestment #investment #whiskyinvesting #casket #cask #whiskyinvest #UKinvestors #austrlianinvestors🚀 #alternativeInvestments #australia

The Scotch Whisky World has ALWAYS been subject to scandal but it's amazing how so many people (even within the world of Scotch) know nothing about Ernest Saunders. There are numerous books and 'Wiki' pages about him and the whole 'Guinness Takeover Insider Trading' affair, in general. It was a scandal that rocked the BUSINESS, not just the Scotch Whisky world. It wasn't lost, in the mists of time, I clearly remember it happening! When you first tell people about it, they think you are making it up. It would make a great Movie. Fake news, (over)-aggressive lobbying, many people chucking each other under a bus, £multi-millions fraud, Court shenanigans, a Hooky, completly bogus medical diagnosis, name changes (to avoid further scandal), Prison, all played-out against a modern, aggressive Business landscape. It's incredible that it's just been totally forgotten about! If you google: 'Ernest Saunders- Guinness' there's a lot of reading and videos! This is a rather good summary. It sums up a sordid state of affairs, that took place over decades, not weeks! Library of Mistakes, indeed! Why's it not better known? #ScotchWhiskyTruths

Having recently joined Whisky Cask Club - have been doing some back dated research on performance and general returns on whisky investments and thought i would share the following annual capital growth of the top 20. Whisky cask's are a physical owned alternative investment returning around 16% PA capital appreciation. Next time you are in your favourite bottle shop or duty free take a look at the non vintage - 10yr - 12yr - 15yr - 21yr of the same brand and the steep incline of price. The same goes with Cask investments so why not buy the cask vs the bottle. Typical holding period 5years. #whisky #whiskylover #alternativeinvestments #alternativeinvesting #capitalappreciation
