325 - Is Bourbon Broken? Part 2: The Secondary Market based off Bourbon & Banter

Last week, we kicked off the series of analyzing Bourbon & Banter's article on "Is Bourbon Broken?" and this next installment looks at the secondary market. The prices of bourbon have been growing immensely and who knows if the prices will ever drop. Will there ever be an end in sight for consumers buying on the secondary or should companies adjust their prices accordingly? We tackle all this and more.

326 - Is Bourbon Broken? Part 3: Distribution and Retail based on Bourbon & Banter

Welcome back to Part 3 on our series of "Is Bourbon Broken?" as we analyze the multi-part blog series from Bourbon & Banter. This episode is one that many have been waiting for as we evaluate the variable that is completely out of our control as a consumer and that's distribution and retail. We've challenged this system multiple times and I'm not sure if we'll ever figure out the correct answer, but how do we make sure it's always working in favor of the consumer? How should distributors reward stores differently? What does the future of commerce look like? And should distributors and retailers be wary of the digital age?

Show Notes:

This week’s Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about celebrity whiskey.
Each state has its own laws on distribution, is this presenting a lot of challenges for the industry?
How do you reward stores without making them take on a bunch of inventory in order to get allocated items?
Do you feel that wholesalers and elected representatives are working for the benefit of the consumers?
Do you think that it's fair that retailers own the product and can charge whatever they want?
At the end of the day, everyone is still making their margin so why do retailers choose to mark it up?
Why don't more retailers push back on distributors?
Should distributors and retailers be scared about the future?
Should we move to a system where highly desirable releases only happen through a distillery website?
