It's just that someone drinks too much: the world is running out of stocks of Irish whiskey
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/its-just-that-someone-drinks-too-much-the-world-is-running-out-of-stocks-of-irish-whiskey.htmlIrish whiskey makers are sounding the alarm: soon they will have nothing to meet the demand, and it continues to grow. Stocks of whiskey are running out, and the alcohol that is poured into barrels now will "ripen" not earlier than in seven years. The same problem was encountered in Japan, and tequila producers do not have time to plant the right amount of agave. There is one reason for this: the whole world has started drinking more.
The demand for whiskey in the world is now so great that the distilleries of Ireland do not have enough stocks. Recently, one of the major producers was unable to conclude a deal to sell a large batch in order to have a strategic stock of whiskey for blending. Industry magnate John Telling predicts a shortage of Irish whiskey and a significant increase in prices. And all because every year sales grow by at least 10%.
In the 1980s, there were only four distilleries in Ireland, and now there are 18 of them, and six more companies are ready to join them in the near future. The Irish Whiskey Association said it plans to double production by 2030. But now producers do not have enough aged malt — all available stocks have been used in the last few years.
It seems that people have been drinking too much in recent years.
