The U.S. is on the Brink of a Whiskey Crisis

“Despite the increase in distillation over the past few years, bourbon demand still outpaces supply. The overall bourbon category is experiencing 5% growth, but premium brands are up nearly 20% from last year… The increase in sales, coupled with the aging process and evaporation loss, leads to a shortage with no end in sight.”

So, what’s a whiskey drinker to do? Well, not drinking whiskey clearly isn’t a viable option. So, as Esquire suggests, we also recommend you “buy as much as you can afford today.”
The end is near (sort of), so stock up on high quality whiskey – the good stuff – while you still can!

Anytime anyone wants to raise prices, they claim a 'shortage'.
