Boulder bottled in bond is a hidden gem in the bourbon world. The Bottled In Bond Act of 1897 was written to ensure the consumer was informed the contents of that bottle were of quality standards and made in compliance with industry standards. In modern times, this ensures the consumer knows three major things: It’s at least 4 years of age and all the whiskey is harvested from the same season, it is bottled at exactly 100 proof, and perhaps most importantly, the labelling states where it’s made and who bottled the
whiskey inside.
Profile: Oatmeal cookie, candied ginger, and allspice. Aged 4 years and bottled at 100 proof.
The second in an annual series of limited seasonal bottlings, Lochlea Harvest Edition reflects the end of summer, when the golden barley is ready to be harvested and eventually used for next year’s production. The coral red has been chosen to reflect the Ayrshire soil, which changes colour to a deep, sunset hue once the barley has been harvested.
From port, oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, this whisky has stewed apples, pear drops and oat biscuits on the palate, strawberries and toasted marshmallows on the nose and Lochlea’s signature cereal and freshly cut grass on the finish.
Bottled at 46%.
Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.
The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein
You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:
This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
