Our ongoing observations about whether the boom has peaked

I’m just here for the meme thread.

 

I met Geeten in person once. Not sure I’m brave enough to meet the rest of you old folk.

You realize that GeeTen is just folklore, right?

 

Bigfoot, Loch Ness, GeeTen. Stuff of legends.

Wheeeew. I had to do a double take. At first glance it looked like you said you met GeeTen in prison once. Darn new glasses.

Hmmmmm.   Neither able to confirm, nor deny from this photo; so I guess, the possibility remains!

International demand for bourbon and whiskey is increasing, so US distilleries have options if the US market slows down.  I have no expectation that bourbon prices will crash any time soon.  My buying habits have changed to some extent as prices have gone up, but I'm finding plenty of good bourbon and rye at reasonable prices in 2024.

I see a lot of hotness in those pictures.  Obviousl, I am talking about the whiskey not the people.

The banjo music is kind of distracting.

I know SB was down for a bit on May 20th. I messaged Jim. The were working on internet cables in his area.

Still having the same problems today.  I think it's a Firefox issue.  I'm viewing it now on Edge.

Whenever I’ve had issues, I was told the first thing you should try is emptying your cache. Not saying you should, not saying you shouldn’t. Just passing this along.

That's good at least working on Edge. I believe some of the default pop-up suppression settings in Firefox are more restrictive than Edge too. Not sure but you could check that as well.

There I corrected Joe's post to see if that corrects your problem.

Are you talking only about computer issues or issues in general?

Increased availability may not necessarily be a sign of the boom ending, but rather a result of increased production finally coming of age to catch up to the crazy demand that has built up over the past few decades. 

 

Yeah, I think we’ve crossed the tipping point of supply/demand.  Things that I’m seeing and hearing lead me to believe that the legacies are now facing the situation where they are accumulating aged barrels faster than they’re dumping them.  Possibly, quickly.  Increasing or bringing back age statements, new label releases, the return of brands to the shelf, shorter time between shelf refills, etc, are surely indicators to me that Bourbonia is entering  a new era.  It will be interesting to see how the producer side handles it, as many people now in the game there only know an environment of higher demand and shortening supply.  They grew up in this industry with that reality.  How will they, and the elders with them that remember the dark days, work together to navigate through it?
