I don't remember signing up for any news letter, but I have emailed them. Anyway,

The Farm

quote:

This year we purchased 300 acres of land adjacent to the Distillery and begun planting non-GMO corn from the same strain used by Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr. in 1870 on 18 acres of it. We’ve also planted our own rye and barley with plans to eventually make our own farm-to-table bourbon. The bourbon will be a separate, stand-alone bourbon with its own brand identity.


The Shortage
quote:


We’re making more whiskey than ever at the Distillery, but demand continues to outstrip available supply, which means all of our whiskey brands remain on allocation. Because of this, brands such as Elmer T. Lee, Rock Hill Farms, Van Winkle, and the Antique Collection (George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Thomas H. Handy, Sazerac Rye 18yr, and Eagle Rare 17yr) will continue to be on strict allocation and hard to find for the foreseeable future.

Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Blanton’s, Weller, Sazerac Rye, Stagg Jr., and E. H. Taylor, Jr. will continue to be in short supply, but will benefit slightly from increased production more than a decade ago.

the farm to table thing is cool. BT is trying to inject a little innovation into the whiskey world. the stuff they are doing with warehouse x is pretty cool too.

they have been saying the same about "the shortage" for 3 years. i can still get all of the BT products I like except ETL. i attribute the ETL shortage more to his death than "the shortage".

I was hoping they found more Pappy in a janitors broom closet or under the floorboards.

I know they have more somewhere, can't let all that hype die down.

OC10 went away before this "shortage" though.

Yes. Our store either have an empty spot, or removed the spot altogether. My wife found one handless transmission recently, and I'm not sure what to do when it's gone.

I've found it, but it's not the "aged". It just said 8. I can tell the difference and I don't like it nearly as much as the aged.

Yeah, my transmission is that way. I think aged is over.
