The head of Beam said he doesn't think the best bourbon has been made yet, says they learn and refine within the limits of keeping it bourbon.

Of course he says that, he's in the business of making and selling the stuff. It might be the case though when the demand slows down and they have lots of barrels of old stuff in their rickhouses. I'm sure they can refine the mashbills and make a good wort, when they go back to pot distilling and can put it into some real good casks for a long time under great conditions, they can once again make a great bourbon. It's less likely when they lower the proof or push younger and younger whiskey out the door to meet demand. It's still pretty good, but can be oh so much better.
