Why Are Bourbon Prices Climbing So Fast?
Editor Will Price talks us through why bourbon prices are climbing so quickly. It's kinda bad news for lovers of brown spirits... and the trend isn't stopping any time soon. But Will puts it all into perspective, and explains why the Three Tier-System is mostly to blame. Also, Will just launched Chasing Whiskey: a monthly email update with new bottles to look out for, and whiskey recommendations from other readers. Subscribe to GP (link below), and you'll be on the list . Lastly: tell us about the One Good Bottle of whiskey you've been enjoying for a chance to get featured in our next email by reaching out to [email protected] with the subject line "Chasing Whiskey".
