Long on shortages
The George Dickel shortage story is getting quite a bit of ink. The more interesting story there is what they did to put a positive spin on the situation.
John Hansell notes in his blog entry that we're going to see more shortages across the range in the near future.
Independent bottlers will continue to struggle accessing stocks of quality whisky. My advice here: try before you buy to make sure you know what you’re getting.
This is the worst news for me yet, I'm rapidly becoming a fan of the independents and their selections. The Beltramo's Highland Park 1990 is amazing.
I'm looking forward to 2008 and seeing what it holds for me. Mike and I toasted in 2008 as the year of the Whiskey Bros.
