It's not so much of a shortage as it is more unable to keep up with the whiskey boom of the past few years, many distillers in Scotland can't keep up either. Wild Turkey's 101 proof rye should be finally hitting stores again shortly as well, for the past 2+ years it's usually been only available at the WT distillery
I'm also not sure if I like how many companies (mostly the Scotch Whiskey related ones) are removing age statements from their expressions, I love my Talisker 10 and will add the Talisker 18 to my collection soon, however not knowing the age of the Talisker Storm expression, I'm kind of on the fence about buying it. I read "It's everything you love about Talisker 10 amped up" or something like that. I kind of understand it's a crutch to have 10 year+ whiskey readily available to the masses and downtime while stocks age means no money incoming. Don't really have a finishing thought so ending it here.

I love Talisker 10. I have wondered ab the 18. I've seen mixed reviews on the storm and 57. I'll probably just stick with the 10.

Roman pointed me highly to the Talisker Storm since I loved the Ardbeg Nam Beist he let me try back in the Chicago herf. I'm going to give it a try when I do a scotch next unless I pick up a different Ardbeg lol.

If you do try the storm, let us know! The 10 is probably my favorite scotch so far.

Sounds great and will definitely add it to the list. Had my first bit of 1792 last night and it was great. Definitely a sweeter bourbon but had some nice spice to it as well. For the $20-25 price it's a fantastic choice fo sho.
Oh also, just watched a bourbon documentary called "Bourbontucky." it was very cool. Nothing really new if you're already into bourbon, bit has some cool interviews with the big guys in the industry and shows lots of the distilleries.

Thanks Jim, and yeah the 1792 is my fav so far in that price range, hope the prices don't keep going up on it because it drinks like most $30-40/bottles IMHO.

Way cool, will try to find it. Any clue if it's on Hulu or Netflix?
No clue... we have directv and it may have been exclusive?? I haven't looked though. It just came on last night.
Watched the same thing. It was a Directv documentary. Some interesting stuff though. It's been a complete bourbon weekend for me after hitting some distilleries. Good times!
