If you look at what's happening with whiskey stocks around the world, it's not a pretty scene. Maker's just tried to dilute their whiskey in order to stretch their stocks. They got shot down by their fans, so MM will have to raise prices to preserve their supply. And if the category catches fire (which it is), good bourbon is going to be more expensive and/or unavailable. I'm gonna promote the white whiskies and stuff like this Kansas to every newbie who comes into my shop...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-37687594493054220222013-03-05T00:26:07.238-06:002013-03-05T00:26:07.238-06:00I think Bourbon and Rye have become so popular lat...I think Bourbon and Rye have become so popular lately.

I find it pretty easy to ignore the clear stuff the is (more and more) infiltrating the whiskey shelves in the liquor stores around here, but I had no idea they were pricing it like that. <br /><br />You can get some pretty good whiskey in Mississippi liquor stores at that price, or within $4-5 bucks above it. But the theory was it had sat around in wood a while, and we were paying for the time it took to make it that good. What, exactly, is the justification for this price for this stuff? (I'm seriously asking). Like anything else, I suppose the answer may just be "someone will pay it, particularly if we put it in the right sort of bottle."<br /><br />Another question, both at the level of idle curiosity: What is this stuff, as in, what ingredients did they use? (You may not know. I don't care enough for anyone to strain for an answer).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />NMissChttp://nmisscommentor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-47316459406903549292013-03-03T22:11:50.237-06:002013-03-03T22:11:50.237-06:00It's the same foolishness that has perverted t...It's the same foolishness that has perverted the use of the word Martini to mean cocktail.
