Description

🔗 Save $2,000 A Year On Whiskey With My Distiller Methods: https://wadecooperdistiller.com Your regular bottle came down 3 dollars, and the bottle that used to sit behind the locked glass is out on the open shelf. Something in that picture does not add up, and nobody in the store is going to tell you why. Here are six pieces of proof that the bourbon boom in this country is over, counted down from six to one, and every one of them is something you can check yourself: a number in a public report, a price, a plant that went dark. Number one is not a number at all. It is a sound. I spent 34 years in this industry, making bourbon, running warehouses and working the filling floor, and most of this proof comes from the back of the building, where I worked. Then I come back to your 31.99 and show you why your bottle has not moved yet, when it will, and the one thing not to do with your money this winter. No brand paid for this video or sent me a bottle. Your homework, this Saturday: walk past the glass case by the register, read the price on your regular bottle, pick up one bottle with a sale tag and read the back label. Then tell me in the comments what town you are in and what your regular bottle cost on the shelf this week.
