Or someone will come up with a process for express whiskey. Aged 12 weeks, tastes like 12 years.

The Japanese and Koreans have been doing that for years.

You’re in Tennessee and you don’t brew your own or know a moonshiner?

COSTCO has the best prices in the US; even beats the Military PX and Class VI prices.

Rye has very low yields per pound of grain in a run. Tastes excellent, but not commercially feasible for the big guys.
If you don’t count the craft distillers, there are only 13 major distilleries in the US producing 350 labels of whiskey.
China is fueling the new demand. They finally discovered bourbon, and are now the world’s leading consumer.

Whiskey takes a while to distil. And by “a while”, we’re talking 5-20 years when you consider the aging process.It only takes a while to distill if you consider the aging process. Acquiring a taste for the stuff right out of the still- that also may take 5-20 years, making it a wash.

Ohhhh.....but us bourbon preppers saw this coming. While you were tucking away shotgun shells and that Marie Osmond freeze dried food, I was putting cases and cases of bourbon away. I put enough away that if I cut back to one bottle a day, it would last for....let’s see......carry the five.....I before E except after C.......well....a long time. And, of course, you know what goes perfect with bourbon? That’s right! Cheez Whiz! I’ve got cases of that, too.
But, I am not without heart. If you run out of bourbon, just send me a private e-mail here on Free Republic, and I’ll send you......A PHOTO OF ME DRINKING BOUBON! I’ll share my last bean with you, but the bourbon is MINE!!!

That’s because Costco earns 95% of its profit from its membership fee. Merchandise pricing is near cost.

On the good side, there will soon be more Irish whiskey available. There are currently only 4 distilleries that have been in business long enough to market Irish whiskey, but 3 more have opened since 2012, and a fourth is opening this year. Since Irish whiskey must be aged at least 3 years, there should be some new brands on the shelf starting next year.

I’ve been noticing my Canadian Whiskeys haven’t been on sale for the last couple of months.
