Edgar figures to raise the total soon to $1 billion. "There's a little heat from my father to do it," he says. While supervising the U.S.'s two bestselling whiskies, Seagram's 7 Crown and V.O., Edgar has become a strong believer in market research, "but not as a substitute for intelligence." And every day he sits, sips, and selects blends with his master...
