An unlikely source for premier spirits

Check out this Washington Post article on Benson, Minnesota's hippest product. "The name is Shakers, and it comes from Minnesota wheat and rye, grown nearby. Packaged in an art deco bottle and marketed as an American original, the brand routinely collects accolades from aficionados. A company executive reports sales in the past 12 months of 15,000 cases at $33 a bottle." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/26/AR2006122600752.html
