An increasing demand for whiskies is evident, especially for those of older ages. Near the close of the year, your Company released two new brands of aged Rye Whisky. These two brands are real Rye whiskies, having been made from mashes consisting predominantly of Rye grain. The ages of these two brands are 6 and & years. The reception given to them by the public, far exceeds our most optimistic estimates. The demand is so great and so much in excess of available supplies, that your Company is obliged to limit releases in order to protect their quality and age. Pire insurance has been maintained at a high leve! due to high replacement cost of spirits, buildings and equipment. Manufacturing costs were up materially, due to increased wages, salaries and extremely high grain prices. During the latter part of the year, however, grain prices eased considerably, so your directors look forâ€" ward to a more normal cost in the coming year.
