Whiskey will lose status as official Alabama product

Whiskey will lose status as official Alabama product

Seems the maker of the whiskey didn't have a clear head, to endanger such a desirable status.

From http://www.wtvynews4.com/home/headlines/1231227.html:
 
Conecuh Ridge is about to lose its designation as Alabama's official whiskey.
State Representative Alan Boothe of Troy got the House to pass a resolution today repealing the designation. (...)
Boothe got the Legislature to designate the Troy-based liquor as an official Alabama product last year. But (...) (t)he maker of Conecuch Ridge, Kenny May, recently pleaded guilty in Geneva and Houston counties to charges of illegal sales. May was ordered to pay a total of $1,200, $49 in fines and court costs.

Maybe Alabama will find a different hard liquor to replace the product. How about "the well-concealed mystery bottle in a brown paper bag"?
