Beam is run by BEAN COUNTERS. Teeling was a visionary. The difference between the two is that a visonary values every single person on his team. BEAN COUNTERS put you off your job if the next quarter looks bad. So, we now get an ordinary blend whiskey with shamrocks all over the label. Pity.

If Beam Inc is the maker of Jim Beam Bourbon, my favorite by the way, I hope to see Cooley Irish in Texas at some stage.
