Hmmmm. Could be another try at inflating demand to drive up prices. Where have we seen that before?

Oh, yes, in most things gunny.

The good thing about Knob Creek getting scarce is that there are plenty of decent substitutes, and in YOUR neck of the woods, an unacceptable substitute that’s been made for over 200 years….

OMG!!! This is just like that time when they said there would be a shortage of champagne to toast the coming of Y2K!!!

Better run out right now and snatch up the very last bottles at your neighbourhood liquor store before TEOTWAWKI!

They're not out of bourbon that could be bottled as Knob Creek. Beam is just getting better ROI bottling and selling it as something else at a better price point. I bet it has something to do with Sazerac buying the Old Taylor brand?

I like Bulleit. I remember when it was cheap.

Good thing I still have a bottle left. I store it behind my scotch so nobody will find it.

So long as Wild Turkey is still crankin’ out the sweet-sweet 101, I have no issues.
