                                                                   Charles Medley Distillers Kentucky Information

                                                                        a.  Charles Medley Distillers Kentucky (CMDK) is currently undergoing
                                                                             renovation. Upon completion in mid-2009 the plant will begin production
                                                                             of Traditional Kentucky Bourbon. This will be the main product 
                                                                             manufactured at the plant.

                                                                        b.  The plant is expected to produce more than 32,000 barrels annually,
                                                                             with each barrel holding 53 gallons.

                                                                        c.  The bourbon will be aged at least four years before bottling. While there is
                                                                             currently not a label or brand developed for this bourbon, Angostura plans
                                                                             to develop a brand before bottling commences. 

                                                                        d.  All the water used in production comes from deep wells located on the
                                                                             property.

                                                                        e.  There are currently plans to employ about 30 people at the site, with
                                                                             applications being accepted during second quarter 2009.

                                                                         f.  The plant consists of 19 building on two sites covering 28.3 total acres.

                                                                        g.  There are seven warehouses on site, five four-story tile warehouses dating
                                                                             from the 1930s, 1949s and 1959s, and two six-story metal buildings built
                                                                             in the 1970s. Each warehouse has wooden racks with a capacity of 
                                                                             approximately 20,000 barrels each.

                                                                        h.  There are plans to eventually include the facility in the Kentucky Bourbon
                                                                             Trail. This is a tour route that connects some of Kentucky’s finest
                                                                             bourbon makers. A visitor’s center, tours and sampling are all items being
                                                                             discussed for the future of CMDK.
