Jeffrey R. Anderson, Director of the Idaho State Liquor
Division, welcomes you to this edition of ISLD's
Good Spirits magazine.

ith the renaissance of bourbons and whiskeys, including unique
flavors of all kinds, my associates at your Idaho State Liquor Division
(ISLD) have been working diligently to ensure you can enjoy the
greatest selection of the finest "brown goods" in the Northwest. Of course, some
of our valued suppliers have adequate inventories of excellent bourbons and
whiskeys with names everyone would recognize. However, because fine whiskeys
need to be aged, the resurgence in interest has meant some products may not
be able to meet customer demand. When this occurs, those products are allocated
to retailers throughout the world, including Idaho, meaning we are only allocated
limited quantities of rare items.
The ISLD has established a transparent and unique way to make these rare
products available in as fair a way as possible. When we are allocated only, say,
60 bottles for the entire state, getting the products to the consumers who truly
want them can be a challenge. Fear not! Each month, we offer allocated items
on either a first-come, first-served basis or through a lottery. It's easy and simple
to see what's available. Submit your name and request by visiting www.mixblendenjoy.com.
In this issue of Good Spirits, you'll be able to explore what's new, some background on Gem State distilleries, and great food parings at some of Idaho's most
inviting establishments. We also have an informative article on Idaho's model
of spirits distribution that explains why we regulate distilled spirits the way we
do as well as why the "three-tier system" of beverage alcohol distribution works
so well for consumers, wholesalers, retailers, and the public at-large.
Be safe. Enjoy Good Spirits responsibly.
Cheers!

Jeffrey R. Anderson
Director, Idaho State Liquor Division
