If they did the prices would fall back to the levels me my old man were used to. You know before every other doofus was drinking Manhattans, buying good bottles and either cellaring them or trying to flip them. I was forced to collect a bourbon bunker because it became endless September oh about 12 years ago.

What’s the average age of whiskeys in Scotland vs Kentucky? If my hunch is correct the Scotch whisky’s are aged for a longer period of time. It could explain why they have more.

Yes, scotch is aged much longer than bourbon. A 12-year scotch is a supermarket product, and liquor stores are full of 21+ year olds; bourbons average closer to 7-9, but can get bottled much younger, and supposedly don't benefit from super-long aging periods the way scotch (supposedly) does.
