The 3 tier distribution system specifically prevents any control over shelf price by the distillery. All they can do is set their wholesale price & suggest a retail price. The distributor and retailer are responsible for any mark-up beyond that, and are free to ignore the MSRP. Rising prices are largely attributable to that retail markup; wholesale and MSRP for even most ultra-rare whiskeys remain pretty reasonable.Dillon Comptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967107211566417488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694999559098817780.post-68128042871253006652020-02-22T10:38:34.823-06:002020-02-22T10:38:34.823-06:00Illegitimus non Carborundum.

Price will carry what people will pay. The market is booming based on (at the very least 4 yrs ago of barreling). This boom is driving prices. The secondary market is driving prices. It's about demand. Don't buy if you don't like the price.Barrel Life🥃🤠https://www.blogger.com/profile/00795246148732551778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694999559098817780.post-46307728371427996652020-02-21T19:07:40.464-06:002020-02-21T19:07:40.464-06:00Well stated, and a major strength to own it and re...Well stated, and a major strength to own it and respond to it. As bourbon, single malt and other whiskey beverages continue to become more complex and diverse it is incumbent on those of us OCD (aka whiskey geeks)<br />to educate, communicate and advocate for increasing the knowledge of consumers and our sisters and brothers.<br />A fundamental relook at reviews is undertaking a total enmeshment into reviewing and reeducating oneself on the massive catalog of whiskies.<br />I think there are several categories of evaluating any consumable. Yes fundamental education on the vocabulary of taste, aroma, nose, palate, after lingering , price/ value/ cost, supply/ demand, blind comparison, on and on...<br />Possibly Whiskey sommeliers have attained the need to subcategorize reviews- by such categories....<br />Bottom line it is validation and affirmation of elite communication when U get such nuanced responses as the critique or even this one...<br />Stay strong and continue with your superb reviews- Rich Srichardsopermdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203531186647235246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694999559098817780.post-32388394155337630272020-02-21T08:17:51.717-06:002020-02-21T08:17:51.717-06:00Exactly how I've been approaching this for yea...Exactly how I've been approaching this for years (of whiskey and beer reviews). I have way too much whiskey and beer sent to me now: if a bad review causes a producer to stop sending me stuff, well, okay. It conceivably hurts them more than it hurts me, because it doesn't hurt me at all. <br />Keep at it, just the way you are.
