Here are some recent stories I’ve done about the world of whisky (how it is spelled in Scotland) and whiskey (how it is spelled in the U.S.):

In the summer of 2016, an unknown rye whiskey from a well-known bourbon-maker came out. No one even knew the barrels were in the warehouse, aging. It hit shelves at $299. Today those bottles are worth two or three times the price after Booker’s Rye won multiple awards at the end of 2016. Beam-Suntory, the corporation that owns the Booker’s name, held back some bottles for charity. Now, some people may be finding out they are able to buy a bottle they thought they could never get their hands on.
