Sales have exceeded supply. A drought is now occurring. Find it, hold it, for it could be 3 years until you see more of it.

I have 2 bottles. I want more.

For a second there I thought prohibition was coming back.

1. Economy/unemployment rate is causing people to drink more?
or
2. Poor sales forecasting by the company
or
3. Great marketing idea :)
or
4. A little of each

I usually get my booze at Dirty John's in Iowa City, and when they have none and tell me to find it and hold it, I tend to take them seriously.

Damn it, what else am I going to drink for breakfast?

They opened up the market to Chicago Land , increasing sales so that they are simply running out. This stuff takes 5 years to age ,so when a rush on what you thought would hold you over until more has been properly crafted, you have a supply problem. I'm sure we will get a 10 year version in a few years also.

I know the SuperTarget in Urbandale has it. Pretty sure Hy Vee carries it as well.

I've seen it at any Hy-Vee I've been to and Ingersoll Wine and Spirits.

I've always thought it was a little too pricey, maybe its just me. Yeah the novelty is cool but is it worth that much?

Since he is in direct contact with distribution, I'm sure he knows what he is talking about. If he didn't, it would be on the shelves.
