This hurts ...

This hits home for me. Heh ...

Jack Daniels water supply is running low and putting the century-plus whiskey business in jeopardy.

...

The water here has become a precious commodity. The water source for the whiskey is a spring flowing through the Jack Daniels property. For more than 140 years this spring, known as Cave Spring, has been the water supply for Jack Daniels. It is one of the most essential parts of the whiskey’s recipie.

...

But this year there is a problem - that water supply is starting to flow less and less. Hamilton said the drought Tennessee is in is taking a toll on Cave Spring.

...


Jack wouldn't be Jack without the water. Oy! To me, it is the Elixir of the Gods.

Thanks to Cookie Jill for the depressing link.
