Whisky Advocate: Balcones Founder Chip Tate Speaks Freely

He’s been under a strict media gag order while the 170th Texas State District Court sorts out the disagreement between Tate and his investors, who allege that Tate refused to attend board meetings and even threatened to shoot board chairman Greg Allen.
