Anonymous, not a simple answer...John, the former. <br /><br />Anonymous, not a simple answer. The glib one would be that people stopped buying and drinking the stuff in droves. Why is the complicated part. Generation gap, availability of other intoxicants, legal and illegal, and so on.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-83300569614221264982013-04-29T14:43:52.320-05:002013-04-29T14:43:52.320-05:00Chuck, since the production (barrels) of whiskey i...Chuck, since the production (barrels) of whiskey is based on how much whiskey distillers expect to sell in four to ~eight years hence, does this tell you that whiskey consumption is expected to rise?<br /><br />Or might it mean that the current world polictical and military situation is leading distillers to stockpile beverage alcohol in expectation that they may soon not be able to do that for awhile?EllenJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-63316312433196114992013-04-29T14:43:03.746-05:002013-04-29T14:43:03.746-05:00What lead to the big decline since the last high, ...What lead to the big decline since the last high, back in 1973?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-285485014824242102013-04-29T11:01:10.756-05:002013-04-29T11:01:10.756-05:00Chuck-

The number of MGP barrels aging in Kentucky is very small but might be counted, since this compilation is done for tax purposes.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-13500300831661413132013-04-29T10:34:16.239-05:002013-04-29T10:34:16.239-05:00Gary said:

Just curious if they would count, as they're not distilled in Kentucky, but some number of barrels are filled in Kentucky by a Kentucky distillery/rectifier. <br /><br />Glad to see the business is booming!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
