Like the MSRP and the higher proof

Now if only we can find it at MSRP. Eagle Rare 10 year is getting closer to MSRP in my parts. Can't find Eagle Rare 17 even with a search warrant

I have to admit, I am excited to try this.

 

Thanks for.posting the link.

looks good, and I applaud BT for giving it a MSRP of $49, but I'm sure demand and retailers will push it way, way above this. Knowing this, hopefully BT is prepared to meet this demand.

I hope you are wrong. There will be the tater stores that have not realized that the boom is over and over charge but I would lime to think the rest are coming around and seeing that they can not take advantage of the bourbon folx anymore. 

 

I do live in a fantasy world! Lol

 

I also think most major distillers can meet the demand but choose not to to create a false supply shortage. In some ways I think this is their way of "trying" to combat the secondary market, being tater stores or douche bags selling illegally.  Think of how our gooberment operates. IMO, same philosophy.  They are out of touch on how the real world works. They think that releasing something shiny and new will drive their sells. It will. But, like for example, WT 8yr, you better have a higher quality product at an acceptable price for it to move or it will not do what they expect. ( in the long run ) And I think this is what will happen with WT 8YR. Quality vs price vs OUR demand.

  We all lime something new, BUT if it does not meet OUR standards, especially now with the craze dwindling,  the sales will fly up but then take a dramatic drop if it does not meet the standards of the bourbonites.  I think the distilleries are grasping for attention ($$$) by barrelling and NOT btling what they could have for the last 8ish-yrs. They knew the end was in site long before us and the only way to keep the demand up was to release something new and/or different to try and keep interest at a profitable place for them. Most distilleries did NOT raise their prices any where near what distributors,  LQ stores or flippers did in the last 10yrs.

They complained lime the rest of us and did nothing to change the situation. 

 

I could be wrong. I have been drinking.
