OMG- WHAT’S A LAWYER TO DO AFTER A HARD DAY AT THE OFFICE!
Whisky distilleries say Scotch’s crazy popularity is now too much of a good thing. Sales of just single malts alone practically tripled in America between 2002 and 2015, and demand has grown in Asia to 250 million bottles a year. No doubt the broader whisky boom has given consumers a terrific variety of fun things to imbibe, but the downside is that single malt in particular comes in a finite quantity, and people are rapidly drinking all of it. The boom is driving prices ruinously high and already causing a shortage of old and rare single malt that investors tell CNN is only “going to get worse.”
Should anyone want that modifier explained, CNN has it covered:
More capacity is being added now, but the bad news for whisky drinkers is the shortage could last another 10 to 15 years, experts say.
The World Is Running Out of Good Scotch
