Greg Gilbert of Lovettsville, Va., built a basement bunker for his 700 bottles of bourbon. He also joined a private club so he could bypass retailers and buy barrels straight from distillers.
Will all of the preppers smell funny?

There is no such thing as a shortage for a given commodity. There is only a shortage for a commodity at a given
price.
Sadly, for us bourbon drinkers, this means we will have to cough up a few extra bucks. I have to go out now and stock up on some Woodford Reserve.

Mama was a “beam and water” woman from way back. Every once in a while i get a hankering for Jim Beams creation. I’ve been meaning to try the “devils cut” variety.

I have tried it and didn’t care for it. If you’ve ever had a wine with a lot of oaky flavor, take a drink of that, bite off a chunk of wood from your bureau, and chase it with bourbon.

I might worry if it was scotch.Agree completely. A poor single malt is better than a great bourbon, IMHO.
But that is the beauty of the free market. People get what they want.

Bourbon whiskey is a type of American whiskey: a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. The name is ultimately derived from the French Bourbon dynasty, although it is disputed whether the namesake Bourbon County in Kentucky or Bourbon Street in New Orleans inspired the whiskey’s name.[1] Bourbon has been distilled since the 18th century.[2] The name “Bourbon” was not applied until the 1820s, and the Kentucky etymology was not advanced until the 1870s.[1] While the liquor may be made anywhere in the United States, it is strongly associated with the American South in general, and Kentucky in particular.

No shortage around here. I’m looking a Knob Creek small batch, a Knob Creek single barrel, a Ridgemont Reserve 1792, and Makers Mark. All barely tapped.
