Who can forget that time when it was thought to be a great idea to release product with little to no aging in the barrel. When potatoes were considered a grain. When vodka and grain neutral spirits could be called whiskey.

Maybe for the ultra premium whiskies, but I dont thing that the segment below that has seen end end of the rise in prices, sadly...<br /><br />and hand to heart here... the whisky industry is a business - and not philanthropic enterprises prices will go up.<br />New markets grow around the world and after industry closures in both th 1990's and especially the 1980's you can't really blaim the distillers for making money when an opportunity show itself.<br /><br />But back to your post, Sku... I like your funny take on it - and if/when the bubble bursts its probably what its gonna sound like.<br /><br />/Claus, The Malt DeskThe Malt Deskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982266215473440957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-61815918947410440242012-10-12T10:04:28.203-07:002012-10-12T10:04:28.203-07:00I remember hearing one tale from 2015 - David Dris...I remember hearing one tale from 2015 - David Driscoll handed his business card wrapped in a $20 to a whiskey blogger in a desperate attempt to get him to buy some Pappy instead of going to get it at Costco.Tim Readhttp://www.scotchandicecream.com/noreply@blogger.com
