I am honestly confused by what you are saying here. It sounds like you're saying more people like the good stuff so it's gone quicker? But earlier you said Bourbon was an "everyman" item being ruined, which presumably means it was popular before. Is what was in the market now harder to find, because in my experience there are now more options available.

(EDIT): Oh I see Weller 12 is now incredibly expensive, and this article I'm about to read is about bourbon prices: https://www.pastemagazine.com/drink/whiskey/bourbon-whiskey-...

Well, good for these smaller distilleries that people are now recognizing how good the product they make are. And there seem to be a like more smaller bourbon distilleries popping up to replace the price point that Weller 12 and similar drinks used to live in.

It's called hollowing out the middle.
