From the newsletter:
quote:

We are moving right along with our ongoing Distillery expansion. Construction of our new, second Still House is more than three-quarters complete. Located adjacent to our existing 1930s Still House, this addition will double the production capacity for the Distillery with a duplicate still. The new still stands 40 feet tall and has the capacity of 60,000 gallons. We recently completed construction of several tanks in this building and will be finishing up window installs and various mechanical and piping work in the next few months


quote:

We have just begun construction on our new Mill House which is located close to the original location of the hammer mill house from 80 years ago. This addition will Increase our grain grinding capacity to match our new distillation capacity and will replace our current hammer mills.

quote:

We are also more than halfway complete with our new cooling system which includes mash coolers, chillers and cooling towers, all necessary to cool the mash down after cooking so it can be transferred to fermenters as needed. All this boils down to being able to produce more whiskey!

I dont r think it will matter. They will just come up with more releases like Weller Single Barrel and opening up EH Taylor and Stagg Jr to the barrel pick program. Before you know it OWA will be MSRP of $79. I hope all the Millenial/ Hipsters are happy now.

Yay, so 10 years until we see more bottles on the shelf?

It'll never be ready in time.

ETA: Regular old Buffalo Trace is 4-6 years of aging. Weller SR and 107 are around 7 years. Eagle Rare is 10 years minimum.

So best case 5 years away from even a small market impact.

Why should we care about increased production when the scarcity is manufactured by BT?

Would you prefer they do nothing and just hope and pray demand goes down over the next decade?

When did Buffalo trace become such a highly sought out bottle? Years ago it was just a standard whisky you could find just about anywhere

I haven’t sought it out in a while, but I think it’s still relatively easy to get around here.

ETA: but to answer your question, the taters first came for Blanton’s, then EH Taylor, then Eagle Rare, and have now seemed to move onto Buffalo Trace.

My little spot always has it in stock. Bought 2 bottles yesterday evening.

BT is hard to get in Texas. Most places that have it limit you to one bottle.

My cousin was telling me that he couldn’t find Buffalo Trace or Sazerac Rye in northern Virginia. He’s coming down at the end of March, so I’ll probably send him home with a bottle of each
